Pet care experience
I’m calm, compassionate, competent, responsible, and decisive. I’ve logged many volunteer hours as a dog walker/exerciser and care companion at the Heritage Humane Society. I had the opportunity to meet, work with, and help literally hundreds of dogs—small to large, shy and skittish to amped-up active and help them be healthy—physically, socially, and emotionally—while they’re waiting to find their forever home. I have plenty of experience dispensing medication to include insulin shots and physical therapy exercises. I enjoy helping dogs as individuals from a five mile trail run with an energetic adolescent, to a slow walk-and-talk in the dog stroller with a geriatric distinguished senior citizen. I also have lots of experience caring for companion animals’ companion animals—especially cats. I look forward to meeting your pack.
Reviews
Hugh Burns is a responsible pet owner and animal lover. He is very active and loves to exercise. He is also extremely patient and kind to all animals. I completely trust him with the care of my German Shepherd. I highly recommend his services.
Hugh is amazing! It is so clear how much he loves animals. He has taken care of my senior dog with medical issues, and has been so wonderful with her and her needs/issues. I honestly wouldn’t trust her with anyone else for any overnight trips. She can’t wait to go on walks with him and I love having someone I can trust watching my baby.
Hugh is very experienced with dogs. He has had dogs throughout his life and cared for them into their senior years to include administering medications and assisting dogs who can't use the bathroom on their own. He comfortably uses basic commands to gain trust and obedience from the dogs and is great with small and large dogs. He has walked my 2 large dogs numerous times and I often talk about how difficult they are but he always seems to have them walking comfortably on a leash in a "heel". He truly is a lover of all animals!!
