I love dogs! Fenced yard for play!

Pet care experience

I have watched dogs for years. I watched two wiener dogs for 3 years, I watch my sisters chihuahua now for the last 4 years, I have had multiple dogs, from boxers to spaniels, to chihuahuas, to miniature poodles, etc. I have taught multiple dogs how to do tricks like sit, shake, and give high fives, as well as teaching my sisters dog how to eat as she was a runt and was terrified to get in the food bowl. I have also potty trained multiple dogs. As a chemistry major and college athlete at SBU in Bolivar, MO. I have a great understanding of what is “healthy” for dogs and am able to provide an adequate amount of exercise to our little furry friends.

Houston was very easy and quick to communicate with before and during his service with our dog. He sent several pictures and our pup seemed to really enjoy his company while we were gone. I would/will be using him again :)

Houston did a great job with my dogs. Great communication and feedback. They seemed to love him. He even brought in my mail from the porch. Outstanding guy.

Houston would be a trustworthy dog sitter. He has always loved dogs. Houston shows integrity and dependability in all he does. Your dog would be in great hands with Houston!!

Information Houston J. would like to know about your pet

Health conditions, age, breed, gender, level of training (house training, chewing things, etc.), how well they get along with other dogs, how they handle new people.

A typical day

I live in a nice quiet neighborhood with good sidewalks to keep your dog safe. I will mostly be walking around the neighborhood but also live close to multiple parks such as Doling and enjoy visiting them as well as having access to my high school track if preferred. I also have a fenced back yard that would be perfect for playing in. And a deck for us to relax outside together when it’s nice.
