Availability
I am currently working part time. My days fluctuate and whether it is morning or afternoon is dependent on the week. So I have much time available with some variability.

About Peter S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure to ask questions of the owner and I make sure to be present and observant of the animal. If I am taking the dog on walks for instance, I like to know the level of handling the dog is used to and what the owner wishes. When with the animal, I ensure I notice its behaviors to learn its habits. I care much more for positive re-enforcement but can apply gentle negative re-enforcement (tugs on lease for instance) if the owner is ok with that. I am trained with e-collars so happy to ease into that with an animal if that is best.
Information Peter S. would like to know about your pet
I have cared for a wide arrange of dogs but curious handling techniques you prefer if I plan to take them out on a walk or run. I am also curious what to expect when the dog interacts with other dogs, humans, and other animals.
A typical day
Right now I have full days open. I read a lot and exercise daily, which is usually a run. I love an adventure to a dog park every couple days.

Flexible and active animal lover
Pet care experience
I was raised around dogs and horses my entire childhood and share a dog and cat with my girlfriend currently. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be home and available often and love being active so I look forward to walks, runs and park days made better with a pup or two! We’ve fostered over 20 dogs so I also know the intricacies needed to handle dogs of all personalities and ages. I adore being around animals and will always care for them as I would my own!
Cat care experience
Peter also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Pete has dog sat for my Aussie (Molly) many times- I usually don't ask for Molly to be taken on walks but find he does anyways and sometimes runs with her! He's both playful and patient, a perfect mix with Mol's high energy.
I have had Peter house sit our three dogs and cat multiple times. They are always well taken care of and happy when I get home. Our small dog, Rufus, is very timid and does not like people but Pete has been able to build a relationship with him and he isn’t scared of him anymore! We are so lucky to have him and all our pets love getting their walks!
