Availability

I work from home every day but Thursdays, my office is dog friendly and usually has 2-5 dogs each day. If your dog is more comfortable in an enclosed office I can take one but typically work in the open office setting where they can be free to visit coworkers and play with other pups or be tied to my desk to keep a closer eye. Can also stay home most of the time if you are more comfortable with them staying in my home. Love a morning walk to start my day, enclosed backyard so they can have quick bathroom access whenever needed.

Information Nicholas H. would like to know about your pet

Please add any special needs/requests/dietary restrictions to your request. Happy to abide by any special requests. Also please include how they are around cats, would prefer dogs who are indifferent/uninterested as that is how my cat is with most dogs.

A typical day

I enjoy getting dogs their needed exercise, fenced backyard allows leashless play time. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with little traffic and sidewalks for safe walks. Will have toys and spots to nap for pups to take a break and relax as needed

Pet care experience

First time in my life I have not owned a dog, I have been a go to for friends when they need a sitter for years. I would love to share my love for animals with your critters : ) I’ve owned aggressive dogs, nervous/insecure dogs, had between 1 and 6 in the house at a time, raised pups from as young as 8 weeks, love training and am happy to continue working on whatever it is you need from fun/cute tricks to muzzle/crate training.
