Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs. I adopted a pit/ mut that I had for 5 years. I have plenty of experience in keeping them out of trouble. There is a park a block from my house that I can take the dogs on walks in. I can confidently handle larger dogs and dogs with higher energy levels. If the dog tears up the yard, it is no big deal. If the dog is nice and chill, I'll let them inside. If your dog won't lay on their bed and sleep through the night, please bring a crate for them. I would like to take them on a 15-30 min. walk every 2-4 hours and let them be free to roam around the yard, house and garage.
Reviews
Travis is so sweet. Our dog Teddy had a great time in his care!
Travis was wonderful and we'll most certainly use him again. Our Dolly is old and can get sad and lonely when we're not around so of course we worry. Travis sent several pics each day and we found that very reassuring. When we picked her up it was obvious she had been kept well groomed and kindly loved. We were considerably later than we thought we'd be getting back to town and cellular service or some such technical snafu made it difficult to update and Travis was more than gracious in his response. He was a delight to work with, has a lovely home for dogs and a fenced in yard for them to be outdoors in good weather and doggy doors (two!) for them to get inside in inclimate weather if needed. Couldn't ask for more.....
Travis is an experienced and capable dog caregiver. As a previous dog owner he has ample experience caring for and training dogs. He is very affectionate and attentive to the needs of dogs and makes sure they are taken care of. Your dog will be in good hands with Travis.
I have several furkids and feel completely comfortable with them in Travis' care. Whenever he comes to my home he is so loving to my pack. He has a natural way about him with the dogs and even my shy ones are at his lap looking for pets and attention. Travis is gentle, but can easily handle my rambunctious pittie. Give him a try!

Information Travis R. would like to know about your pet
I don't want dogs that will bark constantly. If they chew things up a lot and or won't stay off the furniture, bring a crate for me to keep them in between walks. I would like to know if the dog is house-broken and if they ever show aggression to anyone or anything so I can make sure to keep them out of trouble.
A typical day
I usually just walk through Peralta Hacienda Park. If you would like your dog to jog, I can do that. Let me know if you have an idea of the distance they are capable of jogging without getting too sore.
