Important note: I work part-time and update my schedule accordingly. Currently, I work around 10 hours per week and should never work past 10:00pm. My shifts are usually 2-4 hours long but can be up to 8 hours on rare occasions. When my shifts are this long, I will mark these days unavailable on my calendar. My calendar is current up to 5/3/24. I've had a family dog since I was born and every year since. Through collective care, this is where I learned the basics of walking, grooming, feeding, etc. I adopted my own dog almost 2 years ago. He is a reactive/dog-aggressive rescue of 9 years with separation anxiety. I have spent hundreds of hours working with him and training him. His reactivity, aggression, and separation anxiety is now manageable, and he is well behaved and heels on walks. Through my experience with my furry companion, I am confident in my knowledge of specialized pet care such as exercise needs, reactivity, medication administration, skin allergies, dietary needs, consistent/daily training, and more. I have now had hundreds of happy clients! I am comfortable with large dogs, senior dogs, and more than happy to discuss any personalized care needed to help your pet succeed. Having a reactive/dog-aggressive dog, I will never bring your pet to my home. Within your own space, I will always ask for the necessary care instructions. I am happy to provide exercise and stimulation in the form of walks, games, play, etc. If you have a yard, I am always careful to assure that gates are closed/secure before allowing your pup outside. Unless otherwise instructed, I will not leave them unsupervised, even in their own backyard. I understand that pets sometimes have accidents, especially when they are nervous their owner is gone. As long as there are supplies available to do so, I have no problem cleaning up after your furry friend. Overall, I would describe my pet care as catered. You let me know your pet's needs and preferences, and I will work with you to assure they are happy and healthy. P.S. I am comfortable with most pets, including cats, birds, reptiles (even snakes), and amphibians. I can't think of any that I wouldn't be comfortable around as long as I was given adequate care info :)
