Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 3-acre property where dogs can roam and run. I do have a 120 foot leash that lets the dogs run without fear of them running away. If your dog likes to play fetch or just do a lot of exploring, the yard is ideal for them. I am also available to do multiple daily check ins and walks if the dog prefers to stay at home.

Information Peter H. would like to know about your pet

My dog has no special needs but will eat anything left on the counters. He enjoys his walks and taking afternoon naps in the sun

A typical day

If your dog is entrusted with me, they will have at least one daily walk per day in which they will most likely encounter cows, donkeys and even alpacas. They will have plenty of time to run around my 3-acre property. If the weather is nice and with owner approval, we may take a trip to the reservoir. My dog is not a swimmer but likes to wade in the water. If the weather is not nice we usually take the dogs to an animal friendly store (Pet Smart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) so they can do some walking outsider the house

Pet care experience

I have over 25 years of experience watch dogs. The last two years I have been working with the See Eye Foundation as a Puppy Sitter. I sit for puppies 8 weeks to 13 years old, for a single day to over a week. I also have a 12 year-old English Fox Hound that likes to take me on walks/runs daily

Peter is highly responsible and provided excellent care for my dog, offering regular updates and pictures, and demonstrating prompt responsiveness in communication. He kept my dog engaged with play, ensuring he did not feel lonely. Undoubtedly, Peter will be my 1st choice for caring for Lucky during my next vacation, and I recommend him to other pet owners.

Peter is a great pet owner and also a great pet caretaker. He is very active so your pet will get a lot of exercise with him, whether it is a long run or a short walk, he’s got you covered.

I have known and worked (Pharma Industry) with Peter for over 20 years. A well-respected manager of chemist in the industry and has always been an avid dog lover and owner. Pete has cared for my dogs when we were away. They are/were always enthusiastic to see Pete and always well taken care of when we returned. He is a caring and responsible individual, who I was always confident and comfortable leaving my dogs with. I highly recommend Pete as a dog care provider for Rover.

Peter is a part of a seeing eye dog community that helps puppies get used to loud and busy crowds. bringing them to festivals/parades. As well as taking the dog in for a few nights. He takes care of animals with the upmost respect and always make sure to include many pictures to send the owners. Peter is looking forwards to getting to know many new pets and get to see if they can keep up with him as he is a dedicated runner who participates in iron man's around the globe
