Happy pets love Animal Talker

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Amy Sessom also known as the Animal Talker. I work with all kinds of animals, domestic, exotic, and those with issues. I believe in working hand and hand with the families that own these pets, and that communication, patience, and thinking outside/adaptation of the box when necessary is key to successful partnership human/animal. When in a home or taking care of a pet I treat all with the same respect and care that I would want for my home and pets. I am also able to handle medical needs for pets. When walking dogs I always work on manners ex: leash pulling. I am also able to teach crate training, potty training, ect. I am able to work with anxiety, aggression, super large or small dogs. I have a partner so that in case of emergency I do have a back up, ex: sickness. Both of us are emergency certified, trained animal CPR, and Human. Both of us are certified animal behaviorist's, certified dog trainer's. We both worked in high level security . We can provide many references, for walks, drop ins, house sitting. We always offer a meet n greet to make sure that you are fully comfortable that I/we are the right fit for your pets, family, and home. My motto: Happy Pets =Happy Families = Happy Homes

Amy is a great trainer and is especially good with younger, untrained dogs. She gives them a good foundation in manners and proper dog behavior. I have worked with her on a professional basis and she is aleays prompt and arrives ready to work. A great choice for your pet!

Information Amy S. would like to know about your pet

I always encourage meet n greets with both the family and pet. That way everyone is more comfortable. I also need to know if there are any special needs the pets has. Any special likes or dislikes? Would you like any additional work done , ex: mail brought in , garbage taken out, ect. I like to have an emergency contact , vet contact, and if possible meet them, or a neighbor . Do you want your dog walked? Would you like them to go to a dog park? Would you like the dog/cat/other bathed ? Does your dog do well with other animals? Do they have any special hiding places ( especially cats)? What commands do they know? What is a normal routine for them like?

A typical day

I love walking in the neighborhood's that we sit in, but if it is not feasible I also love walking in George Bush Park, Memorial Park, around Rice University , ect. If it is a super active dog I enjoy riding the bike and having the dog run with me. I also believe in playtime, playing ball/Frisbee, or search for the ball/toy, ect. A good brushing , splashing in water if they like, and of course loads of cuddles.
