Dog Owner & SPCA Volunteer- Pick me

I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities—including raising two 90+ lb American Bulldogs and volunteering with the SPCA, where I cared for multiple litters (up to 9 puppies at a time) from birth through adoption. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. From long walks and playtime to quiet moments and cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. At home, I have two sweet English bulldog mixes who are ESA-certified and incredibly friendly with both dogs and children. I also have two respectful, dog-loving boys (ages 14 and 11). My youngest has a natural calm energy that helps even nervous dogs feel safe and comfortable. What you can expect: • A safe, loving, family-style environment • Daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention • Comfort and flexibility—bring your dog’s bed, toys, food, and routines • Experience with puppies and large breeds • Clear communication and updates while you’re away A quick note: While my children love interacting with dogs, all feeding, walking, and care responsibilities are handled by me. Also, when on walks, my dogs stay home and yours enjoy the limelight! Your dog will be treated like one of our own—because in our home, they are. I’d love to meet your furry family member 🐾

Jena and her son Jackson were amazing! Harlowe is usually anxious around children and Jackson had Harlowe warm up immediately, great experience.

Schedule

I am a Full time travel advisor and male my own schedule. My kids are hyper-indepedent and can get themselves to school. During the week Monday-Friday I am flexible when I can be available until about 5pm. My availability opens back up at around 8pm-10pm. I can be available on weekends - it just depends if you want your dog to join soccer festivities or hang out at home until we are back (usually no more than 4 hours) 😉

Safety, trust & environment

Your dogs are never outside unleashed or alone. We do have an enclosed run for dogs here at the property but we do not have a yard for them to run around and play. Happy to bring them to downtown Cary Park dog park which is only 2 miles from where I live.

Pets

A typical day

I love to shower dogs with love, pets, baths and playtime. I would love to bring your dog to a park, explore their local neighborhood and play fetch, tug or frisbee. I also love to train and give treats for good behavior. We can meet friends if your dog is a socialite or interact with kids, if your dog could use that extra socialization.
