All out animal lover here to help!

Pet care experience

I have had a lot of experiances with a few different animals. Those being of course a dog and cats but I also have experiances with small animals and those being hamsters and rats. I have 2 female rats and 2 male cats. Toast is the oldest, hes over a year and Milk who is coming up to a year around April. Both my cats are timid and are shy when it comes to new people, especially Toast. But once they get to know you, they are both really chill. My first dog was even one of my best friends when I had him, always taking out to walks and playing with him every hour I could to make sure the fluffy loud ball of fur was at his most happiest. His name was Simon and he was a Chihuahuaua and Pomeranian mix. We had to give him into a new home because someone else in my house started to get allergic to him and he ended up having kids. Then I took in a stray cat another family found and I wanted to keep her. She wasn't super friendly and my family didn't want to take the time or the effort of having her in the house anymore so we had to give her away as well. I did the best I could to make sure she was having her fun even if I ended up with several constant scratches in my hands and arms. Later on in my life when I was in my room I noticed three kittens outside meowing and I called out for them and they immediately came right to me and when I went outside to see them they were then a bit scared, except for one of them who wasn't as scared as his siblings. It was two boys and one girl. We ended up feeding all three of them for a couple months where all of them let us pet them and even came into the house and walk around freely and still let them out when they wanted to. Until family members wanted the girl so we gave them just that. Then the other two boys "stayed" with us for probably at least a year or 2. One of the cats became very very close to me always coming into my room and somewhere near me to sleep by. Deja vu seemed to happen becuase we had to let both of them go because another cousin of mine was allergic to them. Then I had my rat Luna who lived up to 2 years. She was super close to me and I paid attention to her at every moment I could. Now I have both my cats and my 2 other rats. I work part time for now but I will soon be working full time once other things line up for me and my family. Right now in my part time schedule I will be mainly working later times of the day and I do not plan to work from home and try my best to have the most flexible schedules I can.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to making sure your pet is okay, I will constantly want to be with them and have my eyes on them no matter what.

Information Alexander G. would like to know about your pet

To me, the most important thing to know is what schedule they are most used to, that way they stay as comfortable as possible and they only new thing they need to experience is me.

A typical day

Once I arrive I will make sure the pet recognizes my scent and is okay with my presence. When they look comfortable I would want to show them with gentle pets that I care for them and all I want to do is make sure they are happy. And if they seem to have a lot of energy I would play with them but I would ask to know what playstyle your pet has and whatever it will be I will immediately adapt to make sure they are as happy as possible. Then they may get tired so I will comfort them for their nap. Either they sleep with me in the living room or I will put them on their favorite bed and pet them to get them more relaxed. Then when they are asleep I will take care of any other side requests you would like for me, I am open for anything as I want to be the best for your and yout pet. When they wake up I will let them be on their own or if they come up to me I will give them the attention they need. And if they need to go out I will let them out or if they need to go for a walk then we will go out for a walk and I will bring whatever they need for the nice time out. When we come back home we can play again or relax together to create a strong bond. And I will incorporate their feeding schedules and bath/special needs as well.
