Highlights
Pet care experience
Professionally trained to care!
I have two+ years of professional caretaking experience, working with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and ranges of needs. I am trained to handle dogs dealing with reactivity, resource guarding issues, etc. with a priority on quality of care and safety of myself, your beloved pet, and passerby (when relevant). Since graduating from Temple University in May of 2024, I have been working at a boarding and animal caretaking facility that has allowed me to expand my experiences and learn the best ways to care for your pets while you're away! I've worked with hundreds of dogs--a variety of ages, breeds, and temperaments. Additionally, I have experience working with reactive pets, whether that reactivity be directed towards people or other animals. I'm trained to give pets medications and to assure they receive the highest quality of care while in my charge. All pets require different levels of engagement and care--I am more than willing to provide exactly what you and the furry little members of your family may need! It is currently the 'busy season' at work. I primarily work the 7:30AM-4:30PM (Daycare) or 12:00PM-9:00PM, but am willing to care for kids prior or following these shifts! USUAL AVAILABILITY SUNDAY: 8AM - 10PM MONDAY: 8AM - 10PM TUESDAY: 5PM - 7PM WEDNESDAY: 5PM - 10PM THURSDAY: 8AM - 10PM (This day is my most varied with work, and may instead match Friday/Saturdays availability). FRIDAY: 8AM - 10:30AM; 9:30PM - 10:30PM SATURDAY: 8AM - 10:30AM; 9:30PM - 10:30PM

Safety, trust & environment
The most important thing about caring for an animal is not crossing their boundaries and making them uncomfortable within their own home. Should your dog be reactive or there be concerns of food/property protective/aggressive behavior, I ask that I am warned ahead of time so I can ensure I don't cross those boundaries and can best ensure the safety of myself and the animal(s). I follow instructions to a 'T', including medications and any additional care required (especially for older dogs!). I can provide basic equipment such as a leash, poop bags, and treats (barring any allergies, which I also ask to be notified of).

Schedule
Unfortunately I work a rolling schedule-- this means I receive the hours I'll be working the next week on Fridays/Saturdays. It is the slow season, so I am working less days, but I still require 3 days notice in case I happen to have a shift lined up when you'd need me.
