Pet care experience

Wallingford Dog Whisperer

I grew up with all types of dogs and quickly learned that they all had their own unique personalities and quirks. It doesn't take long for dogs to warm up to me, they can tell that I am a dog person at heart. I do not own a dog anymore and enjoy spending time with all types of dogs. Sometimes dogs do take time to settle in, so it's best to start out with a walk before taking them inside. I have access to a large enclosed rooftop patio to play or to get some sun. I have a lot of dog toys, but feel free to bring your own. I can also train doggos to do a few basic tricks, but I am not a professional. I go running and can take your doggo on a run if they can keep up. lol There are a lot of activities to do in my neighborhood, but when inside dogs love looking out my windows to watch all the people/dogs walk by. I will go outside w them every couple hours. Im also taking the rest of the year off from a normal job so I am home most of the time. I never leave a dog unattended for more than a couple hours. I have decades of experience and I have great reviews. I try to respond to all requests immediately. I have a large extended family and they all leave their dogs with me. Thank you!!

Scott did such a great job watching after our reactive, nervous girl for 5 days. He provided lots of updates and photos and it was obvious that our pup was very happy well cared for. We will absolutely be repeat clients. Thanks again, Scott!

Scott was great with chance! He was responsive and made me feel super comfortable leaving him there for the duration of our vacation, it looked like Chance got a lot of outside time and a chance to play with other pups in the area, which I appreciate since he’s an only dog! Chance came back happy and healthy! I will definitely reach out to Scott again for our future vacations!

Schedule

I'm up at 7 everyday, going for long walks every morning. I have a comfy "dog couch" that they are always welcome to use. I am home most of the day so your dog will not be left alone. If I have another dog scheduled during the time you requested, you will be informed so you can make the best decision for your four legged friend beforehand to ensure a safe environment for us all. I usually will take another walk at 10pm and then go to sleep. Repeat the next day...

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety seriously. Sometimes it's best to do a meet and greet, but not always. I'm available to come to your place or I can watch your pet at my place. I do spend a lot of time on my enclosed rooftop, most dogs really enjoy this aspect of my place. I live near Gas Works and like to go there often. I take great care in the safety of all the pets I'm responsible for and I gain their trust quickly. I try to immediately respond to any inquiries unless it's late at night. In August I will generally not be boarding, I'll only be able to do doggy day care. If you don't need boarding or day care you can also request a dog walk, or a check in. My rates are relatively low for these services. If you refer someone to me you can get discounts on all of my services!!

A typical day

I get up at 6:30-7, get coffee and a morning walk of a mile or so. I like taking pups to gas works or other nearby parks. I am home most of the day, so your dog will NOT be left alone. My place is quiet, clean and safe. I have a big comfy dog bed and a couch that they are always welcome on. You can also bring their own bed or crate if preferred.

I have spent the most years with retrievers, labs, boxers and tons of rescues. Dogs usually warm up to me quickly. I live very close to a pet store where treats are available. A pet hospital is two blocks away as well. Please bring your own food, bowls and any toys. Thank you!
