I’m a singer, dancer, and actor originally from Texas living the American dream. Before moving to NYC, I worked on a ranch caring for many dogs and horses. I’m very comfortable dealing with multiple animals at once and responding swiftly to any emergencies or high stress situations. Even though I love this bustling, energetic city, I do miss being surrounded by different kinds of animals due to the obvious limitations of the urban jungle. But living next to Central Park gives me the illusion that I have the most beautiful and bountiful backyard! My lovely wife and I have a gentle and loving Labrador Retriever named Hershey, and she is truly the center of our universe. We see Hershey as our child and we would welcome your beloved pup as one of our own. Hershey is super friendly and happy and can come on a little strong at first, but that’s because she loves new people, animals, and experiences. But after about five minutes, she calms down and acts like she’s known you all her life. She’s never aggressive, just super excited. I’ve worked with dogs professionally for many years and am familiar with administering oral meds, eye drops, and insulin shots to dogs. I never worked at a shelter but have taken in strays to help find them their owners or find new homes. My parents still cares for a couple of dogs I found wandering the streets many years ago and now are part of my extended family. I can’t stand the idea that a dog will suffer or go hungry––to me they epitomize love, loyalty, and joy. When I'm not pet sitting, I will either be auditioning or taking classes, so my schedule is mostly flexible and adaptable. I also attend college at the Harvard Extension school so I spend a lot of time doing school work at home. I’m very hardworking, dependable, and kind, and being able to care for other people’s pets is a privilege I don’t take lightly. I try to be the best dog dad to Hershey, so a playmate for her would be just a bonus. My wife and I feel so lucky that we live so close to Central Park, it doesn’t really feel like we’re living in one of the largest cities in the world. We’ve carved out a little swath that feels like home with the most enviable landscaping. Hershey and I hit the park every day, multiple times a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I love throwing the ball around, so we can spend a lot of time playing catch/fetch, or we can also visit one of the many dog runs nearby to burn off some energy. Then we’ll come home for some belly rubs or nap time while I catch up on some school work. My wife is home after work and on the weekends, so your pup will never be alone. I have huge dream and goals, but I also know how to stay grounded and thankful for my family and the little pleasures in life.
