Friendly Dependable Local Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I love them. I have experience with pups of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently have 2 German Short Haired Pointers so we're ready for whatever energy level your pup has to offer. We have a fenced in backyard, tons of walking trails, and multiple dog parks nearby. Experience and Expertise: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I've worked with puppies as young as eight weeks old, providing them with the socialization, training, and attention they require to develop into well-adjusted companions. Additionally, I'm well-versed in senior dog care, ensuring their specific needs are met, including managing their medication, providing assistance with mobility, and offering ample patience and understanding. Deep Understanding of Dog Behavior: I possess a profound understanding of canine behavior, enabling me to interpret their body language, anticipate their needs, and address any potential behavioral issues. I'm skilled in using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desirable behaviors and gently discourage unwanted ones. Exceptional Communication and Collaboration: I prioritize open and transparent communication with pet owners, keeping them informed about their pet's well-being throughout my care. I'm always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide regular updates with photos and videos. I'm highly adaptable and flexible, readily accommodating any specific needs or preferences that pet owners may have. I'm comfortable following established routines or adapting to new ones, ensuring a smooth transition for each pet.

Our puppy loves seeing his friends (we get the most adorable pictures) & wonderful experience yet again!
We had the best experience! We were constantly updated with pictures and felt our pup was loved and cared for while we were away!

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for pets requires a comprehensive approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and a healthy environment. Here's a detailed explanation of how I ensure the well-being of your furry companions: Safety: Safeguarding the Home Environment: I meticulously check the home for potential hazards, such as loose wires, toxic plants, or choking hazards. I also ensure that all doors and windows are secure to prevent escape attempts. Supervised Exercise and Playtime: Exercise is crucial for pets' physical and mental well-being. I provide supervised walks, playtime, and interactive activities in a safe and enclosed area. Emergency Preparedness: I am well-versed in pet first aid. I keep emergency contact information readily available and know the location of the nearest veterinary clinic in case of any unforeseen situations (it is less than a 5 minute drive to the nearby Banfield Pet Hospital). Trust, Building a Rapport: I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, quirks, and preferences. I establish a bond with them through gentle interactions, positive reinforcement, and understanding their body language. Following Instructions: I meticulously adhere to the pet owner's instructions regarding food, medication, exercise routines, and any specific needs or concerns. I maintain open communication with the owner throughout the caregiving period. Respecting Boundaries: I respect each pet's comfort level and avoid forcing interactions or activities that make them feel uneasy. I prioritize their well-being and create a stress-free environment. Nutritional Needs: I provide pets with high-quality food and fresh water according to the owner's instructions. I ensure they have access to food and water at all times, even during overnight stays. Cleanliness and Hygiene: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for the pet, including their food bowls, bedding, and play area. I regularly clean up any messes or accidents promptly. Pest Control: I keep the home free from pests that could harm or discomfort the pet. I use pet-safe pest control methods whenever necessary. Comfortable Accommodations: I provide comfortable sleeping accommodations for the pet, whether it's their own crate or bed or a designated area in my home. I ensure they have a safe and cozy space to rest.

Information Zachary T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if your dog has any dietary, behavioral or other special needs. This helps ensure that I have all of the information I need in order to provide the best care for your dog.
A typical day
Your pups will have full access to our fenced in backyard as often as they would like. I’ll take them for multiple leashed walks daily around our wooded neighborhood trails. We will also go to the local dog park (with owners permission) at least once per day.
