Dog lover? more like dog addict...

Pet care experience

Caring, Fun, & Patient Pet Lover with 6+ years experience in pet-sitting, dog walking, and doggy daycare. I can provide pet sitting in your own home and, after good rapport, can provide sitting from my own home. Available to drop in for a friendly visit or give quality dog walks just around the corner or down to the local dog park to play. I love dogs of all sizes and ages. I love to provide owners with lots of candid photos of fun moments with their pet and can even make a live video feed through Snapchat, Periscope, or FaceBook. Can also perform baths and grooming.

I met with Tad , he had a great attitude. And seemed to ask all the right questions regarding what was required. He sent me pictures of their walk that gave me some comfort in knowing he took her where I instructed him to go. She is in good hands. So I booked him for the remainder of the times that I need him.

My partner moved away about 7 months ago to take a job in a different region, and I started graduate school, which left our dog with the prospect of being alone for 10+ hours a day. Not only is it hard on his bladder, but he's a very loving and friendly dog who needs human contact. He very quickly started to resort to mischief to vent his frustration and loneliness. Enter Tad. Tad comes to our home, and not only does the basic stuff to let the dog out, but he actually takes him to a dog park, spends time with him, and plays with him. While Frankie loves people, he hasn't been socialized really with dogs, and though he isn't aggressive, he doesn't know how to interact with them. Tad has been great in teaching Frankie out to socialize and start to play with other dogs. Tad goes above and beyond making sure that he works on his obedience commands, his conduct on the leash, his conduct with other dogs and in public, and just makes sure that he is played with and not so lonely. I've noticed a marked difference in Frankie's demeanor and behavior since Tad has started to dogsit for us. He truly is a dog whisperer. Importantly, Frankie absolutely loves Tad! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Tad is just amazing with dogs. I have a kind but push pit and Tad handled him better than a dog whisperer. The walking and feeding itinerary was fallowed to a T. I was much appreciative for the creative photo updates. I might even have them printed! I look forward to regular walks and sitting with Tad.

Information Tad D. would like to know about your pet

First off, whats is your dog's name. and age. Then I like to get to know the activities and schedule of a dog's day to day. Does he spend a lot of the day occupying himself at home indoors or in the yard? What is the dog's demeanor? Rowdy? High energy? maybe chill af? Does the dog have any aggressive patterns? Does the dog like lots of a attention or appreciated from a distance? are there any difficulty areas in training (leash/walking, house broken, verbal commands)?

A typical day

Depending on the local; A leisurely stroll or fun car ride to a local park. When there, depending on the dog's mood run laps, play fetch, ruff-house, or calm walk around the park. I frequency Piedmont Park, Park Grounds, the Highlands, Decatur and Oakhurst.
