About: From an early age, I've taken care of animals small-to-large, parrots-to-malamutes and I believe they're all special, giving us an endless quality of life 💓. Making time for ani-fam is never an inconvenience because it is a practice of fulfilling a pet's needs. ☺️ It also helps to fulfill my self-care/ spiritual health needs by nurturing another living being. I find I function best when I care for an animal as it keeps me on task, on schedule, and mentally happy, too! Our two family cats are fed early in the am/pm, plenty of (consensual) belly rubs, a daily lil' treat, playtime and plenty of nap time as well as personal space, as they see fit. We also share the past-time of birdwatching in the countryside. ✨ When it comes to your pet and your home, I am dedicated to respecting your pet's dietary restrictions, physical "play" needs, and always approaching with love and respect, as I will be the guest in their/your home. Between a strict regimen or low-maintenance regimen for your animal, I would require meeting with you/them in your space beforehand to make sure I get a thorough briefing. I also believe this helps with introductory bonding, showing I am a safe person to trust, and not cause unwanted stress on your pet.

If you need someone reliable to look after your fur babies, I’d be happy to assist with any care your pets need, from feeding and walking to just providing companionship. Let’s chat about how I can help take care of your pets while you’re away! Caring for pets, whether they’re my own or someone else’s takes attention, routine, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality. Pets like people like consistency. I ensure I understand their regular feeding times, exercise habits. Understanding each animals play habits helps keep them entertained and happy. Documenting medical concerns and medication needed to ensure properly given, and monitor for any signs of illness. Pets, especially those away from their owners, can experience anxiety, some more than others! I engage with them to provide companionship such as playtime & cuddles! I keep an eye on body language and behavior to ensure they are comfortable. I keep open communication, providing updates and reporting any concerns. Trust is vital, and being responsive to a client’s pet care preferences or concerns is important. Ensure I have vet and contact information in the event of an emergency.

About: I have had a few dogs over my lifetime, I've loved them all no matter what. Whether the breed be big or small, they are all worthy of love and time. I go to school several days of the week, albeit in the mornings. I would love to take care of pets throught the day after classes and in free time. I take an immense amount of care of all pets in my home. For the cats: Neither of them are allowed outside due to safety concerns and they both have time to play, including toys and with each other. For dogs: With dogs I have owned I have taken care of them many ways. A big one is walks I gave, 30-45 minute walks with breaks! I also provide toys and enrichment when possible! I am currently looking further into what to do for some other fun tactics!
