Safety, trust & environment

Every morning I take my dog out for a walk followed by a bowl of food. I’m very familiar with wet and dry food, as well as medication taken via orally. My pup is also an aged fella, so any experience with older dogs having trouble getting up and down the stairs I can handle as well.

Information John L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs/requirements for your pet ahead of time. I’m very familiar with medium to larger sized dogs, but I can make small ones as well as cats work.

A typical day

I love to engage in playing fetch with dogs. I’m very active myself so spending majority of my time outside is something I intend to do. I’m very attentive to animals, ensuring they receive treats for good behavior.

Pet care experience

I’ve had the privilege of growing up with two dogs back to back and I’ve taken lead in training and taking care of both of them. My current second dog, Jake, is a very rambunctious type who I can’t get enough love out of people, but is also very well behaved after about 30 min of meeting someone. Jake dealt with Parvovirus when he was a puppy and was inches away from leaving us, but thankfully with the right care we got him he was able to survive and just turned 9 this past August.
