Please note due to injury recovery, walk services are limited to dogs under 50lbs or dogs that are perfect on leash (no risk of yanking or pulling). Insured by Pet Sitters Association. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from a tiny Yorkie to a giant Bernese Mountain Dog. As a 10 year old, not only was I a few years into being responsible for feeding my two dogs dinner every night, but I briefly worked as a dog sitter for my neighbors. I have previous experience and training by the PSPCA as a dog walker, learning how to approach and handle dogs at the shelter. I have cared for my family's Bernese Mountain Dog on several occasions to allow my parents to go on weekend trips and week long vacations. I helped my partner care for his roommate's boxer mix puppy every Friday evening for the two months his friend needed us to take care of her in the evenings while he worked. This included cleaning up dog vomit one evening from her crate. In December 2019, I adopted my first rescue dog with my partner, as all prior dogs I've owned and cared for have been family dogs. I enrolled us in an obedience training program shortly after and I now have even more tools in my belt for successful walks. My own dog receives daily walks where I have practiced these skills and commands ("Focus", "this way", "leave it"), along with my own safety commands ("wait", "cross") that I would be happy to use with your dog also during walks. I have some cat care experience, and can provide "hands off" care for cats. I have some mild cat allergies, but still try to provide affection for cats who desire that. I have cared for over 25 cats from 10 different families in the last two years, so I'm happy to take on jobs that include (or even exclusively are for) cats. I have experience administrating insulin and oral medication to cooperative cats. I do not have experience or comfort with administering medication to non-cooperative cats.
