Pet care experience
Hello everyone! Thank you for coming onto my profile! You can follow me on IG to see my work with doggy’s! @pawlifellc. My mom and my dad help me with taking care of pups! they are both retired and have always loved dogs. I am a college student. I am currently studying biology as I am on my journey to pursue my dream career to be a Vet. Working with animals has always been in my lifestyle since I was kid. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am also experienced in basic obedience training. Heres a few skills I Know: - I know how to save dogs from CHOKING -I know first aid assistance - I know how to check if your dog could potentially have anemia -I know how to inject dogs medication - I know howto provide oral medication and much more! My dad would rescue animals from the streets by bring them home, provide them care until we could re-home them. Since then, my love for dogs have grown & as a family, we began to rescue dogs together. I then lived in South America for 8 years where streets dogs are in abdunance.I would rescue them by bringing the home, providing food and care for them until I could re-home them. My family also had a farm down there and would always help around with pigs,horses,cats,etc. (See photos of rescued pups below!) When I was was rescuing puppies, I also rescued my now dog,named Honey. She lives with me and is seven years old. She’s terrific with other dogs! I have then gained more knowledge by working professionally with dogs as A PET COUNSELOR at a pet store. My job as a pet counselor was to know and difference all the breeds in the world. I would take care and walk the puppies of all different sizes as well as checking their gums, teeth,tempeture to see if they are in a healthy state. At the pet store I also worked with birds, hamsters and reptiles where I also earned how to provide for them and provide a safe environment. I then, worked as a dog sitter on and off as well as a dog walker. While I was working I was also a pre school teacher in the LEARNING EXPERIENCE in Stamford. Where I learned A LOT of patience. And thanks to that, I take my time with each puppy and make sure they are completely comfortable with me. It is important to know my Mom Silvia, My dad Atilio & my sister Silvia also help me around!
Reviews
Another great will with Aleshia! Had to put in extra days since one of us was out of town for work and Aleshia was very responsive and available/helpful!
Aleshia took care of Wellington . He’s looking forward to his next visit with her five star service.
Aleshia (Gigi) did such an amazing job with my dogs Luna and Marzi. She had them for over a month during the holiday season, and they had medical concerns she had to keep an eye on. But they came back even more well trained and disciplined than when I left them. Gigi and her parents treated Luna and Marzi like family and clearly loved and cared for the dogs well. We'll definitely be coming back!
George loved spending the day with Aleshia! He was stimulated by the other dogs and was visibly well adjusted upon pickup. Thank you, Aleshia 💞

I have a fenced backyard and I have a front yard. I also have two big unoccupied rooms where the doggies are more than welcome to play and rest. Of course, I always have the option for the doggy to sleep in the room with me (especially anxious ones!) but if he or she would like his or her own space, then I can provide that. I only have one doggy in the house which is Honey but I call her a cat cause you will never see her around unless you go under my bed. (or a walk). I also have a lot of treats to provide but it is also good to know if your dog has any allergies so I can avoid these treats. I also have beds I can provide but I always recommend for the client to bring their bed so the doggy can feel like their owner is close. The bed the the smells attached to it. ---------HOUSE SITTING --------- I know leaving your pup at home while you are gone can be stressful. I'll make sure that your pup keeps the same routine! For house sitting I offer mail checks, house cleaning, watering plants, cleaning poop, etc. I used to be a nanny and have nanny tendencies! I can help with more than your pup, whatever is necessary to keep your home at peace. :)

Information Aleshia A. would like to know about your pet
I would really need to know if your dogs has any of the following: - Allergies? - Anxiety? - Likes to eat socks? - Likes to eat anything that can be a choking hazard? - Medication? if there is anything you feel like I need to know please dont hesitate to tell me!
A typical day
I love for the doggy to be comfortable. That is my main priority. I would love for each doggy to believe they are in a vacation away from home. To do so, I provide MANY walks and out door time. (if the weather is accurate) I also have many different type of toys so I can interact with them. When we go on walks there are two types of walks I like to provide: 1. is the neighborhood walk. I live in a nice neighborhood where there is close dog park and woods with a trial. I love to go the trial in the woods because it is spacious and beautiful. ( I provide 2 of these a day) 2. The walk walk. If you would like, I can take your dog on my walks I do everyday usually with honey. It varies but I usually go up north stamford or to WAVENY park. I will of course have your dog on leash ALWAYS unless I have your permission to do otherwise. I will also provide a lot of pictures during the stay. I usually send the pictures at the end of the day but I can send them throughout the day as well. If this is an inconvenience for you & you would like for me to send them at a certain time. Please let me know!

Thankfully, I am home full time. & so is my mom and dad! My mom helps me with taking care of dogs. My mom also knows first aid assistance. We all provide walks for your fur baby. Throughout the day. I provide food, water and exercise. I like to have a schedule where I have a time to walk, play and feed the doggies I am taking care of so that everything can be organized and I can pay attention to the dog in care :)
