Alpha Female for Hire!
Pet care experience
I've owned dogs my entire life, mostly smaller breeds (though I do have experience working with medium sized breeds as well). I have occasionally walked larger breeds, but as a 5'3" woman, handling a bigger animal that doesn't want to listen to commands can be challenging, so I exercise caution if a dog weighs more than 50 lbs or so. I've dog-sat for friends' pets numerous times while they were on vacation, which includes everything from regular feeding, walks, and just general loving and playtime. My family has a running joke that we're all animal whisperers; for whatever reason dogs, cats, etc. all seem to gravitate towards us (which is probably why we get asked to pet-sit so often!). I definitely have what you would call an "alpha" personality; I'm a strong leader who isn't easily intimidated by high energy, and I can stay calm where most other people might lose their cool. As a person, I am extremely dependable and easy to work with. I'm a big believer in communication, and happy to stay in constant contact so that you can make sure your pet is in good hands.
About Akeyla P.
Skills
Information Akeyla P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's energy level, how well they respond to commands, and whether they have any behavioral concerns (i.e. lunging at other dogs during walks, suspicious of strangers, difficulty handling a leash, etc). Knowing potential health problems is a must too, in case something happens that needs immediate attention.
A typical day
Depending on your dog's needs, I'm happy taking them for a little stroll, going to a nearby park to play fetch, or even going on a jog. I'm just as down to play as they are!
