When I was a kid I helped my family breed and raise 16 dogs. I have taken care of a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. My wife and I currently have a 3-year-old rescue dog named Charlie and a 2-year-old rescue cat named Alex. My number 1 priority is safety whether at your home or on a walk I will be situationally aware of the environment around us and make sure that any dangers are mitigated timely. I love playing with animals so if you have a playful pet I am more than happy to have fun with them. I currently work full-time in the military in Crestview with a work shift of 0700- 1530. It is an hour-long drive to and from the base. I am able to do morning and evening services, however, I do ask for some flexibility on times. I pride myself on good quality service and will not let you or your pets down. I always focus on the primary needs of the pets first such as safety, food, and water. Then if the pets are free-roaming I usually perform quick walk-throughs of the rooms of the house to make sure nothing is damaged or messed up by the animal. (Note: I am a very private person, so I usually set boundaries with the owners of the place they feel comfortable with me in. I treat every location with great privacy and respect.) Then with the leftover time from the visits, I spend playing and loving on the pets to ensure that their mental health is also taken care of. I like to take care of the mental and physical state of the pets under my care.
