My doggie came from a rough background so it has been a long but rewarding road to get where we are today. If you want to know if I have any experience doing something or if I am willing to help with something specific, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am willing to take care of your pet as much as I as take care of mine. I prioritize their well-being by having a pet first aid kit on hand and providing a stimulating environment with toys and treats. I will even take care of your plants if you are away! I know how hard it is to find someone to do that as well. I set my own schedule so it is flexible. I am free from as early as 6 in the morning until 11 pm most days. The times I cannot do are Mondays/Tuesdays 9-11 am, and Fridays 11:30 am-1:30 pm. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine to minimize stress. I adhere to their feeding schedule, take them for walks or play in the backyard, and provide companionship. I also follow any specific care instructions provided by the client, such as administering medications or adhering to house rules. Communication with the client is key, and I keep them updated on their pet’s activities and well-being throughout my visits. My primary goal is to ensure the pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness while maintaining open and transparent communication with the client to provide peace of mind during my care services.
