Energetic & Empathetic Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime experience with animals from the day I was born till now I have always had a pet in my life. Whether it'd be a dog, cat, bird, horse you name it I have taken care of and loved for it. Anybody that gets to know me knows that my love for animals is unconditional. When I went to college I did not have a animal living with me but all my friends had dogs or cats. When ever they went out of town or had a long day of classes/work they would always reach out to me to watch or drop in to see their animal as they knew there animal would be taken care of and would be happy as all animals love me. Once out of college I lived in a condominium complex where I worked from home as I was running my own business. If any of my neighbors couldn't get a dog walker or sitter they knew they could come knock on my door and I would without hesitation agree to watch or walk their dogs. Being around animals brings me such joy as I know I'm helping them and there human. I currently have two dogs that are the loves of my life and are completely spoiled and will treat your animal just as if it was one of mine.

Information Russell C. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure that your dog/cat is taken care of just as you would. Please inform me of every day scheduling such as feeding, socialization, favorite activities, anxieties/hesitations, and any additional info that you believe is needed to make sure your animal is taken care of to your standards.

A typical day

I will walk your dog around your houses neighborhood, on a trail or to the dog park depending on what is near your home. If there is a dog park I will make sure that your animal is well watched for while in the park and when home has adequate water for hydration. If your home has a fenced in backyard and your dog likes to play in the backyard I will run around in the back yard, throw the ball or what ever the dogs favorite activity is. My two dogs love to be chased by me in my backyard I have to do it every night or else they get upset.
