Polite Poet Who's Raised 2 Litters
Pet care experience
While I was growing up I was always around animals. Cats, dogs, horses, goats, and some chickens were always around. As a child I help raised four litters of kittens, two of puppies, and a few goats. Due to this upbringing, I'm very comfortable with animals, from big to small and everything in between. Puppies or old family dogs, I love and know to get along with all of them. The characteristics that have followed me throughout life are patient, and kind. Due to this, I've never had an issue working with any dog, including those that have been known to be mean or antsy. I try to give them as much space and time as they need to warm up to me, but after that, I'll give them all the love and attention they ask for. My personal habits are quiet and clean, so dogs don't find me intimidating or too intrusive, nor have the owners of the homes I've worked in before. Working with dogs is one of those occupation that feels like an absolute dream because it's what I'd enjoy doing with my free time. My other interests are mostly artistic, as I'm very involved with literature, but even it can't provide the warmth and good cheer which flourishes when one has a good relationship with a dog.
Reviews
He watched my dog on and off for year, and was the best dog caregiver I could of asked for. He has a special connection with animals.

Information Nicholas W. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to get a personality summary of the dogs I'll be working with, such as if he or she is high energy, aggressive, lazy, a brat who tries to get onto the couch when they shouldn't be, all that. I'm not too picky on size, but having the prior knowledge of what I'll be dealing with won't hurt.
A typical day
San Diego is a great town for walks! Almost every street leads to a little corner park, and there's wonderful places such as the dog part at the end of Grape Street. Of course, if your dog has a routine I'm more than happy to work within that, but otherwise I like to let the dog determine how the walk goes, our speed, and how far. But of course, there's more than being with dogs than just walking them. Playing fetch is great, petting them is great, jumping around, whatever they want to do and find fun. I don't really have a particular technique that I lay out over every dog I work with, for me it's like every dog is a new job, as I like to get to know the animal and what works for it.
