Availability
As a semi-retired professional who works from home, my schedule is highly flexible and centered around my three dogs. Your pet will never be left alone for long stretches; I'm home the vast majority of the day, which means regular walks, playtime, meals, and attention are built into the routine naturally. I treat pet care not as a side task but as a core part of my day.

About Louis P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be staying on a private two-acre property with a semi enclosed backyard: plenty of space to run, explore, and decompress. Please note that the front yard is not fenced, so all outdoor front-yard time is leashed and supervised. Inside, your pet will have a dedicated private room, cozy bedding, and a crate available upon request (crate reimbursement appreciated). In the event of any medical concern, the nearest emergency veterinary clinic is conveniently located on State Road in Swansea.

Information Louis P. would like to know about your pet
Please share any medical conditions, allergies, dietary needs, and emergency vet information before your stay. It also helps to know your dog's temperament, whether they're cuddly, energetic, laid back, treat motivated, or somewhere in between. Let me know what games or activities they enjoy, any behavioral quirks or triggers around other dogs, strangers, or new environments, and what training they have, such as recall or leash manners. The more I know going in, the better I can make sure your pet feels right at home.
A typical day
We keep things pretty simple and fun around here. Depending on your dog's energy and mood, we might go out for a walk or a sniff walk, play some tug of war, tag, or catch in the backyard, or just kick back and watch some TV together. I follow the dog's lead and make sure they're comfortable and having a good time.

Pet care experience
Dogs have been a part of my life since I was five years old, and that love has never wavered. Over the past five decades, I’ve cared for an extraordinary range of breeds such as German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Collies, Lhasa Apsos, Jack Russells, American Staffordshire Terriers, English Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas, among others. I currently share my home with three Chihuahuas of my own, ranging from 8 months to 7 years old, so your dog will always have friendly, familiar company. My experience goes well beyond basic care: I have bottle fed newborn Chihuahuas rejected by their mother, and I am currently completing CPR certification specifically for dogs. I am bully breed friendly and comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes. I bring reliability, genuine dedication, and a deep belief that every dog deserves the highest standard of love and respect, and you can be sure that is exactly what your pet will receive in my care.
Reviews
I appreciate them both taking care of my dog with such little notice, friendly people/nice to talk to, only problem I had was my own boundaries when it comes to my dog that I didn't mention so they did everything I asked/told them to my knowledge and bathed him when he peed tysm!!
Louis did a great job. He came prepared for the meet & great with some treats ready. Neither of my dogs likes strangers in the house - they often take awhile to approach male visitors - they warmed up to Louis' calm approach. He came prepared for the walks as well, with his own backup harness to handle two dogs at the same time. They all came back happy and were happy to go with him for the second round a couple days later. I would recommmend Louis to anybody needing a 'walker.'
