Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible and active animal lover
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!

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.
Ratings and reviews
Our hellhounds are a bit high maintenance but Peter has done a great job keeps Myrtle and Buford moving and happy! He’s great at communicating and the dogs seem to love him!
We are very happy with Peter’s service! He arrived for Maisy’s walk and dinner break right as promised and provided good reports. We would definitely book Peter again. Maisy and I thank you!!
Pete was an excellent dog sitter. He took the time to get to know our large dogs, gave them plenty of exercise, and kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. He also went above and beyond by keeping our home clean and well cared for. We feel fortunate to have found Pete and highly recommend him. Thank you, Pete!
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!

Schedule
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.
