Military Veteran Dog Lover

Pet care experience

From the day I was born, my mother was/is an animal control/cruelty officer as we have rescued just about every animal you can imagine. There has never not been one or more animals in our home. I have served our country in the United States Coast Guard and as a veteran and dog lover, I take pride in my work. I have adopted 2 of my own recently; Wallace a Mastiff/Great Dayne Mix and Angus, a Corgi/Jack Mix. I treat your pets and your home as if they were my own. I am a 35 year old veteran that is a student/food service caterer and private chef. My hours and availability are very flexible for your needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur children!

Fantastic! Sal was great with letting us know everything going on. He took great care of both of our dogs while we were gone for the day. Definitely recommend and will contact him again for future needs.

Sal is a great pet owner and I have trusted him with taking care of my dog on numerous occasions. He treats animals like children and there is no doubt in my mind that he would treat others’ in the same manner.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not host in my home unfortunately. I care for pets and any animal like I do my own; they are our children. I want their routine to be the least disturbed in your absence as possible. I love dogs, and most of them tend to love me as well. I am careful, gentle, yet as firm as the owner would want me to be with routine, feeding, water, and behavior.

Information Salvatore C. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about their needs, wants, likes and dislikes. Are they good around other dogs? All breeds are welcome as I've probably owned and cared for most! If they enjoy going to the dog park, I suggest your fur baby be up to date on Rabies, Lepto and Bordatella please. This is for their protection.

A typical day

I am open to wherever your dogs enjoy; walking and any other activity they are accustomed to at home. I love throwing frisbee, playing ball and many more! There are many areas to walk in Winchester and surrounding areas. I am happy to walk around the neighborhood and for a small extra fee I can take your fur baby on a walk on one of the many trails in Winchester. I would suggest to have your fur baby must be on flea/tick medication to go on the more extensive trail walks. Ticks are very populated in this area.
