Pet care experience

I’ll care for your pet like my own!

I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Every time my friends would go out of town, their families would rely on me to take care of their dogs. I’m very patient, kind, and caring of all breeds of dogs. I’m also experienced with giving dogs medications. I really enjoy the company of dogs and look after them like they are my own. I have two dogs of my own; a miniature blue heeler named Zuko and a Australian Shepherd named Dakota

Whit is a great dog walker, regularly, each week, with our energetic, large, sweet lab. Whit is cheerful, reliable, and even-keeled. We appreciate Whit’s kindness!

Whit is great about arriving at different time I requested. Whit is wonderful with our lab, who really enjoys his walks with Whit.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a home with a quarter of an acre backyard. Plenty of space for the doggos to run around and have fun! My girlfriend also lives with me, and she loves dogs as well. She would definitely show your dog some extra loving.

Pets

A typical day

I would love to throw the ball or frisbee with your dog! I absolutely love playing with dogs. Also, if your dog loves some water, I’ll bring out the water sprinkler and make sure they are nice and cool while having fun in the backyard during the summer.
