Pet care experience
I am currently studying Pre-Veterinary science after realizing the one constant love in my life. I have taken care of our family dogs throughout the years since I was about 7 years old, checked in and cared for friend’s dogs, and I have been volunteering at the local CASPCA and RVSPCA animal shelter for a total of 2 years now every week while at school. I even had the pleasure of fostering a deaf white pitbull named Marilyn for a short while and was able to teach her some sign language! I am very patient and understanding of all types of dogs and know a good amount about their range of behaviors and a little about their psychology. Most importantly, though, I believe that what dogs do for us is so much more than what we can every repay them for, so I want to enrich their lives as much as possible! I only have one dog who is very shy and will not have any problems with other dogs and my house has a lot of space for any size of dog!
Reviews
Preston is an incredible sitter and bonded with my doggie instantly. He kept us updated and sent fun pics and videos unprompted which made us feel good to know that he was being so well taken care of. Even at pick up, our doggie was happy to see me, but he also wasn't super quick to bolt out of there, which meant he really felt safe and happy with Preston too. We will definitely board with Preston again soon!
Preston, took great care of Oreo and responded very quickly to questions. Would definitely recommend him and use him again.
Preston was great with Rambo. He and his family were very excited to sit Rambo and he had a blast with them. Will surely book with Preston again. Thanks!!
Kuma was super happy and looked like he had a great time!
About Preston N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep a consistent schedule for my guests in when to eat, walk, play, etc to help ease any potential separation anxiety. At least 3-4 times a day to walk outside and use the restroom, some sort of stimulation or puzzle, some relaxing time, and really just let the guest feel as comfortable as possible

Information Preston N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any health concerns, previous surgeries, allergies, and meds just so that I know how best to care for your dog with particular needs
A typical day
Breakfast always starts the morning around 8am, which is immediately followed by a morning walk/smell adventure. Depending on the dog’s energy level, we would then spend some time sunbathing back on my deck, cuddling and watching tv, or playing with toys to pass the time. Once I find out what he likes the best, we can focus more on those types of activities and he will acclimate better!
