Pet care experience

I stand out from other sitters thanks to my unique blend of experience and skills. Not only do I provide top-notch care for cats and dogs of all sizes, but I also specialize in two areas that make me exceptional in the field. Senior Dog Expertise: I have dedicated years to working with senior dogs in a veterinary clinic setting, understanding their unique needs, health concerns, and the patience required for their care. Also my last dog Ziggy had his own health issues as he got older. I'm well-versed in administering medications and providing the extra TLC these dogs deserve. Puppy Training: Alongside my beloved puppy, I am honing my skills in puppy training. I know how to create a nurturing and structured environment that fosters growth and development in those critical early months. With me, you're not just hiring a sitter; you're getting a passionate caregiver who goes the extra mile to ensure the well-being of your furry family members.

Information Alicia S. would like to know about your pet

Dog's Behavior and Needs: Understanding the dog's temperament, energy level, and any specific needs or quirks is crucial. This helps ensure a safe and enjoyable walk. Medical Information: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications the dog requires. In case of an emergency, knowing their veterinarian's contact information is also important. Leash and Collar Preferences: About the dog's leash and collar preferences. Some dogs might require a specific type of harness or collar for a comfortable walk. Commands: Familia commands the dog knows and responds to. This can be useful for maintaining control and safety during the walk. Favorite Routes and Walk Length: Favorite walking routes and the ideal length of the walk. This helps to keep the dog engaged and satisfied. Behavior Around Other Dogs: The dog behaves around other dogs, so you can manage encounters appropriately during the walk. Owner's Contact Information: The owner's contact information readily available in case you need to reach them during the walk.

A typical day

When it comes to the dogs I watch, I believe in tailoring activities to their individual preferences and energy levels. Some of the fun activities in our repertoire include: Parks : I love taking dogs to local parks and, allowing them to enjoy the great outdoors, explore new scents, and stretch their legs. Interactive Play: Interactive toys and games such as fetch, tug-of-war, and puzzle feeders are great for mental and physical stimulation. Cuddle Time: Sometimes, dogs just want some quality cuddle time. I'm always ready for some snuggles and affection. Regarding special places for walks, I like to explore local parks. It's wonderful to see them experience new environments and interact with other dogs, giving them a well-rounded and enjoyable experience during their stay.

I've always loved animals, so I want to work part-time in pet care. While I'm committed to my daytime job, I've structured my schedule to allow for flexible hours outside of work. This enables me to dedicate my time to caring for animals and ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve.
