Pet care experience

I love and respect all animals.

I've had dogs and cats my entire life (I currently have two dogs and four cats) and consider them part of my family. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've often provided care for the pets of my friends and coworkers. I retired a few years ago and now only seek jobs involving animals. For two years, I worked for a Cane Corso breeder caring for his dogs and their puppies - a wonderful job for me. Currently, I work part-time at a small horse ranch where I care for and love two horses and one pony - another wonderful job. If you're looking for someone to take care of your pets (dogs, cats, horses, ponies or really just about anything - haha), just let me know. I have a deep love for all animals and nature and am very reliable. I'll take good care of them while you're away.

Troy has been walking our dogs for a few weeks now. He is super attentive to our dogs needs. He is now a regular walker for our pups and we're stoked about him.

Dog Walking • Mar 20, 2026

We are ecstatic and relieved to have found Troy! He is experienced, prepared, reliable, and communicative. He's fantastic with our special-case dogs and we truly trust him to handle them, which is rare. We have one dog who is reactive toward other dogs while our other dog is terrified of humans. This can make walks difficult, frustrating, and a test of patience and physical strength. Troy took every direction we gave him and applied them with his own steady and gentle demeanor phenomenally. Our dogs feel safe and confident with him and love to go on walks with him. Troy is also incredibly kind, easy to work with, and even did additional research and planning to ensure he would handle our skiddish dog the best. I would recommend him to anyone. I especially recommend Troy if you have a reactive or skiddish dog.

Troy is awesome. He was very flexible and accepting of our dogs' needs and ours. He is clearly very passionate about spending his time with animals and loves dogs. We will continue to use him for regular, ongoing walks.

Troy is one of the most experienced and responsible people that you can trust with your animals. He has years of experience with caring for and training his own animals, including large dogs and cats. He has also cared for many other animals through sitting for friends and family as working in a long term dog walker position for 8-10 cane corsos. Whatever care your pet needs, Troy will make sure it's done and that your pet stays safe and happy. Recommend!!
