Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy Life

I grew up with all kinds of animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, hedgehog). To ensure I can provide the best care possible, I currently only take in pets from one family at a time for boarding. I treat all fur-babies as if they are my own and send daily updates along with a lot of pictures from the day. I will try my best to accommodate your schedule and situation to the best of my ability. I take the trust of my clients very seriously and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby while you are gone!

Anabel was such a fantastic sitter for our pup! She followed our care instructions perfectly and sent so many wonderful photos and videos during our trip. It made us so happy and gave us great peace of mind to see our dog happy and well cared for. I definitely recommend Anabel and will use her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep a clean house and keep the house between 72F-75F°at all times. There is a doggy gate in the house to prevent any runners and reinforced backyard fence to prevent any smaller pups from slipping through. I also stay outside and supervise the pups during backyard time. Several key practices I take to ensure the pets' safety, comfort, and well-being: - Follow Detailed Instructions: Understand and adhere to the specific instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, specific care routines, and emergency contacts. - Maintain Regular Communication: Keep open lines of communication with the pet owner. Regular updates via text, photos, or videos can provide reassurance and keep the owner informed about their pet's well-being. - Provide a Safe and Clean Environment: Ensure the environment is pet-proofed, removing any potential hazards and securing the home to prevent escapes or accidents. Including counter-surfers. - Stick to Routine: Maintain the pet's usual routine as closely as possible. Consistency in feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime helps reduce stress for the pet. - Exercise and Playtime: Engage the pets in their favorite activities, such as walks, playtime, or toys, to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. - Monitor Health and Behavior: Watch for any changes in the pet's behavior, eating habits, or health. Any concerns should be promptly communicated to the pet owner. - Respect the Pet's Comfort: Provide a comfortable and calming environment. Ensure they have access to their favorite spots, bedding, and, if applicable, a comfortable temperature in the house. - Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared for any emergencies. Have contact information for the owner, the vet, and clear instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. - Respect the Home: Respect the client's home by maintaining cleanliness and order. Follow any house rules set by the owner. - Security Measures: Ensure the security of the home and pets. Lock all doors and gates, and be cautious when entering and exiting the property. By implementing these practices, I'll provide excellent care for the pets while their owners are away, offering peace of mind and assurance to both the pet and their human family.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day can be a blend of physical activities, mental stimulation, socialization, and relaxation ensures a fulfilling day for them, keeping them both physically and mentally happy. The key is to adapt these activities to suit each pet's individual preferences and energy levels. In the evening, we go for a sunset walk around the neighborhood. Some examples of activities: - Short training sessions: Work on obedience, tricks, or mental stimulation to help strengthen the bond. - Interactive Toys: Introduce interactive toys or puzzle games to keep them mentally active and entertained. - Wind Down with Cuddles: Spend some quality time indoors, winding down with cuddles, belly rubs, or simply enjoying each other’s company.

Please let me know if your pet has special needs, such as: - Medical Conditions: Whether it's diabetes, arthritis, or any other condition requiring specific care, I'm experienced in administering medications or treatments as needed. - Mobility Issues: I'm adept at handling dogs with limited mobility, providing gentle exercises or assistance during walks. - Behavioral Challenges: I can adapt training methods and activities to suit dogs with anxiety, fear, or behavioral issues, creating a calm and reassuring environment. - Dietary Requirements: I'm attentive to dietary restrictions, ensuring your dog receives the appropriate food and necessary feeding schedule. - Elderly Care: For senior dogs, I'm well-versed in providing extra care and attention, including monitoring their comfort, managing pain, and adjusting activities to suit their pace. Understanding and accommodating to these special needs is a crucial priority for providing the best care, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for your furry companion(s).
