As a child, I grew up around dogs that belonged to various family members/friends. At a young age, I was learn about different dogs, their needs/personalities, and how to care for them. Additionally, my siblings and I were often asked to pet sit or walk their dogs on a regular basis. At the age of 14, I got my first dog and as my parents worked and siblings went to college, I was left with the responsibility to care for my dog. These responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with my dog (both before and after I ended school.) With having my own dog, I have always had to find ways to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routine. Currently, I have a pretty open schedule: Sunday- Tuesday: I have full availability Wednesday-Saturday: I have availability after 3 or 4pm (on Saturdays only.) I have a gated back yard to ensure that your pet does not wander too far away or get lost. Also, I have a friendly dog of my own that can provide some good company. When dealing with pets at a clients home, I will be sure to adhere to your dogs specific needs and your expectations.
