Hello, there! My name is Ari. I am a Downtown Tampa resident with experience caring for anxious puppies with challenging backgrounds, elderly pups with medical needs, multiple dogs and more. I provided care for a puppy rescued in Mexico while I was living in Phoenix, AZ. I began assisting with training and care for this pup at 12 weeks old: crate training, teething (safe chewing), housetraining (out every 4 hours), positive reinforcement (training treats: homemade and store bought), socializing and plenty of play! In another experience, I provided care for an elderly shih tzu with limited sensory abilities. This included frequent medication administration and application, baths, ear cleaning, special diet considerations and more. These two pups, although different in specific needs, both chose a caregiver with a keen attention to detail, gentle demeanor and knowledge to provide safe and optimal care. Skills - Walking - Feeding (hard, soft, prepared, homemade and special diet needs) - Transportation - Overnights (available short and long term) - Bathing (medication, ear-cleaning, drying) - Playtime - Running - Ask me about more skills :)
