Safety, trust & environment

I treat my animals like members of the family. My dog Gizmo gets three walks a day, and knows basic commands. My cat Jasmine gets plenty of pets and play time when she wants it. For my clients, I provide individualized care based on your animals temperament, comfort level and needs. I follow each client's directions closely, including schedules, medical needs and household rules, and provide regular updates. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on keeping your animal safe, calm and happy through consistency, reading body language and getting to know your pet, particularly for leash reactive dogs or nervous cats.

Information Andrew B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your pet has, including medical needs and temperament concerns. This can include leash reactive dogs, as I can bring a clicker and other tools to help me best support them.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet will focus on sticking to their routine and making them feel comfortable and loved. I will follow your specific requests, providing food, medications and fun activities to support them physically and mentally. For dogs, we can go on walks, play in the backyard or nearby dog park, play fetch and other games, or simply enjoy pets and comfort. For cats, I will give them treats, brush and pet them or play games, like laser tag and others, depending on their comfort level and needs. My priority is providing comfort, patience and positive experiences that match your pet's temperament and needs.

Pet care experience

I have cared for pets as long as I can remember, and I have a deep affection for all animals. I am comfortable caring for animals with all kinds of temperaments, including large and small leash reactive dogs and nervous cats. I also have experience giving medications, including shots. My cat Ollie had diabetes, which required daily insulin injections, so I am comfortable with this level of care. My dog Gizmo is a leash reactive dog. I've learned a great deal about doggy body language and putting him, and others around him, in the best situations while on walks. I have completed many hours of leash reactive training as well. I confidently use proven techniques, including clicker training and positive reinforcement, to defuse stressful situations during walks. I also know the best ways to avoid potentially difficult scenarios before they occur. I focus on creating positive experiences for all animals in my care as this consistency builds trust and can improve behavior over time. I promise to use the same care and patience with your animals as I do my own.
