Turning Walks into Tail Wags

I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and absolutely love doing it. Caring for all ages and breeds, ensuring each dog is happy, satisfied and genuinely cared for. Family dogs, friend's dogs, or my own Best Friend, Duke. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and keeping feeding schedules on track, I tailor my approach to every pet’s unique needs and personality. I always arrive on time, follow owner instructions diligently, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands. Whether we’re exploring a new trail or just a relaxing stroll or visit, my goal is to make every moment a positive, stress-free experience for you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I commit myself to adjusting to ALL owner requests in regard to entering, maintaining, and leaving the home, while ensuring the dog's best interest. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs both in my own home and others. I also am an avid long walker, so it's no issue for me to provide your pup with ample exercise so they're nice and satisfied. I have a 2 year old very well behaved Siberian Husky that I walk all the time, however I will not have them walk together unless explicitly requested or approved by you! Additionally, for the summer months, I will always have travel ice water available for the dogs as well as avoiding blacktops that could damage their paws. All boxes will be checked!

I've known Troy for over a decade and he has been incredibly kind to every pet and dog I've ever seen him interact with. We were roommates at one point and another roommate brought a dog into the home. The other roommate often ignored their own dog and Troy would step in to take care of the dog, playing, feeding, and walking them. A few years ago he got his own puppy and he has approached raising his dog with deep care and knowledge. He is an excellent dog owner and super knowledgeable on taking care of them from moment to moment. He would be a great dog walker for any pup!

Troy has been a caretaker for my dog on numerous occasions throughout the last seven years. He is an unequivocal true dog lover, and any pet will be in good hands with him.

Schedule

I work remotely with a relatively open and self-regulated schedule. Very easy for me to make 30-60 minute visits and walks work. There are occasional short notice schedule fluctuations, but I would make that known 24-48 hours in advance, and most of the time I would be able to work around it anyway. Weekends are more or less wide open unless I'm out of town.

Please let me know if your dog requires any medications, is comfortable around other dogs, or any other major quirks I should know about! I will adjust all plans and care for the dog accordingly.
