Information Harry P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs to account for. Because of my age, I prefer dogs who are well-trained, as well as senior dogs (I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs).

A typical day

I love quiet roads in Santa Ynez, the Santa Ynez riverbed (for water play and fetching), parks like Hans Christian Anderson, and the dog park in Buellton. I always bring healthy treats (with owner's permission) and do everything I can to make my dogs happy and excited to see me.

Lover of Dogs with a Gentle Touch

Pet care experience

I'm an older, fit senior who loves dogs. I lost my personal dog last year, and am looking for opportunities to shower love on other dogs. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I'm responsible, organized, and extremely gentle with animals. References available upon request. Because of my age, I request well-behaved dogs and senior dogs, please. "I have known Harry Peltz for more than 15 years, including several years of walking dogs together at an overcrowded Santa Barbara shelter, where we encountered many different types of dogs. Many were untrained, some reactive or fearful, and some overly energetic or exuberant. Harry handles all dogs with calmness and compassion, and he also is a very responsible person. You can't find a better caretaker for your pups!" ~ Isabelle Gullo, Co-Founder and Executive Director of C.A.R.E.4Paws Volunteered at Canine Pals in Santa Barbara Assistant to German Shepherd Dog Trainer (6 mo) Open availability to residents within a 15-mile radius of Santa Ynez Valley. Looking forward to caring for your pet as if it were my own. Fenced in back yard. Feeding 2-3x daily Medications given as needed Hand-walking on a leash or taken to dog parks for playtime. Treats abundantly given! :)

Harry is a delightful man who took to my dogs immediately. I highly recommend him.

Harry has watched our two dogs (two older female labs) and one older cat literally countless times... feedings, medications, walks, and overnights when we are away on trips. I love his quiet, gentle spirit with them – especially senior animals – and they love him equally as well. Harry is all about the animal's happiness at all times. And he is prompt, careful, and 100% dependable. I could not recommend him more.

Harry has taken the best care of our pets and our home when we travel. We have an 11 year old Golden Retriever that is on several medications and Harry has always been able to handle it, allowing us to feel at ease while we are away. He is thoughtful to send text updates and pictures and our pets are so happy to see him when he arrives. He is the BEST.
