Availability

My schedule is very flexible since I build it weekly as an Assistant Store Manager. I typically know my shifts in advance, which allows me to plan pet care around work. I’m available mornings, evenings, and often during the day depending on the week. On days off, I have full availability. I’m used to maintaining consistent routines with my own dogs, so I make sure walks, feeding, and attention always happen on time.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. At home, I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of anything pets could get into. I supervise interactions, stick to feeding and walking schedules, and pay attention to each dog’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, so I always keep owners updated and reachable.

Information Tim d. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs or behaviors. It’s helpful to understand how they interact with other dogs or people, any medical conditions, medications, or triggers, and what they enjoy most. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

A typical day

A typical day includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of playtime tailored to the dog’s energy level. With my own Jack Russells, I’m used to keeping dogs active, so I enjoy walks, games like fetch, and mental stimulation. I also make sure there’s time to relax, give attention, and keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and at ease.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs every day since 2020, including my own 10-year-old Fox Terrier/Jack Russell mix (Finn) and my fiancé’s 9-year-old Jack Russell (Joep). With two energetic, small breeds at home, I’m very experienced in handling high-energy dogs, strong personalities, and daily routines like walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m 28 and work as an Assistant Store Manager at Giant, where I create my own schedule weekly—so I have a lot of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I’m reliable, structured, and used to responsibility, which carries over into how I care for pets. I’m especially comfortable with: • Small to medium dogs • High-energy breeds • Consistent routines and structure • Giving dogs attention, exercise, and patience I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, active, and cared for while you’re away.

Tim did a great job walking my 10 months Shihtzu. I had to modify the reservation and he was flexible. Recommend
