Highlights
Pet care experience
Punctual, capable, and caring
Hello! I am Mason, a USAF veteran on the GI Bill working toward his pilot's license. I am on Rover to provide myself with a high-quality, fulfilling experience working with dogs and cats (both of which, I love). I have previously volunteered at both the Spokane, WA animal shelter and Pima Animal Care Center walking dogs and have taken care of my own little dog, Thor for her entire life. 12 years going strong! I have taken care of dogs ranging from Mini Yorkies to Great Danes, cats, snakes, and various rodents for friends and colleagues over the years. I have never failed to provide quality care whether I was walking, house-sitting, brushing animal teeth, or hurling a favorite ball. That is because I love every dog/cat I see. I am just happy when I take care of animals. More recently I volunteered at the Mayreau Animal Welfare Center in the Grenadine Islands. I would routinely walk 2 or 3 large, high-energy dogs while simultaneously handling the community dogs that would inevitably start to follow me. These walks involved walking through deep mud and up moderately sized mountains. This experience will prove invaluable in helping me take care of your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to provide a comfortable setting for any animal I work with as this makes or breaks their experience. For my own pet, I have installed a homebuilt dog door in our patio window to allow her the freedom to come and go from our fenced-in yard as she pleases. I would strive to make your pet as comfortable. Each animal is different so if that means I need to go for a long relaxed walk with a senior dog, wrestle in the yard with a high-energy puppy, or perform training for any dog that needs to learn a little bit, I am happy to do so.
Ratings and reviews
On time and professional. I would recommend Mason, he knows his business. Took great care of my senior Bull Mastiff, Buddy. He is now my sitter of choice.
Mason spent over a month volunteering at our animal welfare organisation on a small Caribbean island, where he helped to provide rescue and rehabilitation services for sick, injured and abused dogs. This included daily walks for some of the owned dogs, who would otherwise have been chained 24/7 in lonely backyards, and he was instrumental in making a real difference in their lives. Horrified by the condition in which most of the island animals live, Mason was proactive in promoting responsible pet ownership, tirelessly advocating for the welfare of all animals through community outreach and education, as well as instituting various other very useful initiatives. In addition to this, he was integral to the success of a spay/neuter clinic which was held during his time with us, helping it to run smoothly. Mason was a much valued member of our team, demonstrating a deep commitment to the dogs in his care, and showing great kindness and compassion towards them. We were very grateful for his help and support, and were very sorry when he had to leave.

Schedule
I am currently waiting to go to flight school so my schedule would be extremely open to your needs. I am willing to walk or drop in any day of the week and with enough notice, I can happily house-sit any day of the week as well.
