Information Harlan S. would like to know about your pet

Yes, I would like to know about the dog before sitting him or her. I have no breed preferences. I believe it is very important for us to have a "meet and greet" beforehand

A typical day

As mentioned above, there's lots places for dogs to walk and play where I live. I enjoy playing "fetch" with dogs, if they like doing it. I would even consider brushing the dog, if that's what the owner wants.

Caring and Experienced Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want.

Our dog Avy had a great time with Harlan while we were on vacation! Super friendly, great communication, and gave her plenty of walks and attention to keep her happy. Will happily book again!

Harlan was great with my dog Phoebe. When we visited Harlan, for the first time, I felt very comfortable and he was very sweet with Phoebe. Then a few days later we dropped her off and she seemed right at home with him. Harlan is someone who I feel very confident about leaving my doggie with. We already booked him for June again. He was great
