Care from the heart for your dog

Pet care experience

I grew up in-between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of Lake Tahoe, California with dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life. I moved to Rockford in 2019 to make a life with my wonderful girlfriend and our kid from Lake Tahoe. Our family truly believes that we are at our best when we give and care for others. I have been a professional dog-walker and caretaker for the last several years but have at least 17 years of dedicated experience taking care of animals, especially dogs. I am confident and comfortable with dogs of many different breed backgrounds, with varying energy levels and activity needs and with colorful personalities. I am trained in delivering CPR, I am confident delivering medication (with instructions from the owner), experienced with senior dogs, puppies and dogs with special needs. We live in a spacious apartment complex with laminate-wood floors that can resist any and all scratches and we assiduously clean our space up so nothing harmful for a dog is left out ever. My girlfriend, our child, and I adore dogs and have a happy, friendly, well-trained and non-aggressive dog of our own at home who would make an excellent companion for any dog visiting us. We look forward to opening our home to your dog(s) and welcoming you, as well. Please feel confident knowing your dog(s) is/are in caring, dedicated, patient and responsible hands.

Will was by far the best and most nuturing dog walker I've had, he walked my two dogs (Boston terrier and Australian shepherd) for me when he was working for wag! He walked both of my high energy dogs together for a few hours, three days a week. They would always come back happy and tired out. He was never late picking them up or dropping them off, occasionally when I would go out of town for work he would come over and feed them as well as do their routine walks. We miss you in California!

Short and long walks, play-time with various Kong (TOUGH) toys, treats, plenty of water and food to go around.
