Dog dad here to help out! :)

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Troy and I've had numerous companions throughout the years of all shapes and sizes. As I work mostly throughout the weekend, I thought I would fill my free time by helping out with others' pets wherever I can. I've cared for pets of my own my entire life and currently have two giant dogs, Holmes and Watson, and two cats. I'm happy to meet up to see if I'm the right guy to help out with your furry friends, I can't wait to meet them!

Mae enjoyed her walk with Troy. I'm excited for her to have a weekly schedule to get out and enjoy a nice walk during the day.

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

I have a fully fenced in yard which makes it easy for the pups and I to run around and let out all of our energy, my cat Grimm even joins on occasion! When it's nice out, our Newf loves getting in the kiddie pool to splash around. We always find something fun to do at our house! I'm happy to check in on your pet and make sure that we save enough time to play and get in a couple of hugs. Rest assured your home will be left exactly as you had it and any pet messes cleaned up.

Information Troy D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any extra information that would give you peace of mind as a pet parent. This could be anything! What tricks you are working on, any medications that need to be given, any small triggers your pet might have, or where you keep your pet cleaning supplies.

A typical day

My pups and I love walking through Waveland Cemetary since they have countless trails, a pond, and plenty of geese to bark at along the way. If I'm coming to walk your pup, let me know if you have any preferred trails our routes you'd like me to take!
