Hi, I'm Amelia from Baltimore City! I've had cats and dogs my whole life, and, as my pup Bee can attest, I'm never happier than with a dog by my side. Having grown up caring for my own cats and dogs, and having cared for neighbor's animals, I'm very well versed in animal's patterns of behavior. Add that to me missing my own pets so much that I took care of neighbor's, professor's, and friend's pets professionally all through college, and I've developed a really well-rounded understanding of inter-pet situations, how to handle hyper/active or quiet/skittish animals, and how to get your best friend to feel more comfortable with me! I'm also excited to work with you on reinforcing those all-important commands you've been teaching your pup - consistency is key to a happy and well-behaved lifestyle, and I would love to be a part of that. I'm more than happy to come to you, particularly during those awkward chunks of time early in the morning or late at night, when you just can't make it home, or you're sure your pup is a little lonely! I often have chunks of availability that aren't on my calendar - feel free to reach out if you're having trouble working within my schedule, as I'm here to help you out!! Additionally, while I'm not officially offering doggy boarding or daycare, if you're curious if I can make something work, please don't hesitate to message me, I would love to move some things around to make this easier for you and your best friend. My partner, who lives with me, Elijah, is equally as flexible as I am (as well as equally in love with all things doggos), and we are happy to work together to find something that suits your needs, even if that means occasionally making our front room a dogs-allowed zone to house your little guy! I have a some experience dealing with senior pets and pets with special needs, ranging from oral and injected medications to pups who just need a little time to get going. While I'm not officially certified in dog first-aid, nor am I affiliated with any organizations, I am fairly comfortable with basic dog first aid, and am happy to become certified on an as-needed basis. And if you're worried about your smaller furry or feathered friends, fret no more! I've got lots of experience with hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, snakes, lizards/dragons, turtles, fish, big birds, small birds, and even bees (they aren't nearly as cuddly as your pooch, but I make do!) However, as I prefer to meet your pet before coming to visit, if I don't feel comfortable or capable of watching your pet, I will let you know. I am comfortable in my capabilities and skills, but won't pretend to have abilities beyond what I have! My goal is the safety of your pets, first and foremost!! I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and adding your pets to my ever-growing list of new best friends!
