Experienced Dog Handler

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life and I've been a serious dog walker for 12 years and a Supervisor at a pet hotel for the last year and a half. I have 3 dogs currently, who I am dedicated to training as one of them is a certified therapy dog. I am certified by the Animal Behavior College as a Dog Obedience Trainer. I also have experience with shy and skittish dogs as well as my childhood dog was a rescue who needed extensive rehabilitation. I can handle any size of dogs, as I’ve had an English Mastiff who was over 190 pounds. In addition to this I also have experience with giving dogs medication including pills and insulin.

Seamus was awesome! He took excellent care of my cat Shirley! He sent updates and photos of her during check-ins twice a day so I knew she was doing fine. I came home to a happy well cared for kitty.

Seamus is a great dog sitter! He leaves great summaries of his visits with lots of pictures—it’s clear my dog loves when he comes over!

Seamus has pinch hit for us a couple of times and always does a great job of caring for our dog and three cats.

Safety, trust & environment

When I am taking care of your pup I plan on using my knowledge of everything I have learned over the past 12 years to ensure that your dog have a safe and fun time when we’re hanging out! Dog behavior and care is my passion and I am very intuitive when it comes to dogs. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby, so you can trust that I will care for your babies the same way I would care for my own because they are family.

Information Seamus D. would like to know about your pet

Accepting of all breeds. I would prefer to know any reactivity history if possible so I can be prepared. I would also like to know any situations that makes your dog uncomfortable so I can have a successful visit when I’m taking care of them!

A typical day

I pretty much will do anything that your dog loves to do! Dogs are my passion and in order to have a fulfilled dog, I understand that I need to accommodate them and will GLADLY do whatever their favorite activity is!
