Responsible, detail-oriented, and great with many types of personalities and needs. I love being active. I have a clean background with references on request. I've worked with: Large and small breeds. High energy dogs that need long walks and enrichment. Senior dogs that require gentle care and medication. Dogs with anxiety who need patience, routine, and reassurance. For example: Last Summer I cared for two dogs in the owner's home for two weeks. It was an in-home stay. They both have a special diet with precooked food that was given twice a day. Chopper is a Terrier mix and very high energy. He likes socializing and playing fetch. Pumpkin is an elderly Dachshund who likes cuddles and short walks. The next job I had was with two dogs, a cat, fish and shrimp tanks. This was also a live-in stay for three weeks. Kevin is a German Shepard mix who doesn't do well on a leash, but listens to commands great. He won't poop at home, so we went on a quick ride in the back of my truck to his favorite park every morning and evening. He loves the beach and is very good around other animals and people. Oliver is a small Dachshund who is scrappy with strangers, so needs to be put on a leash always. He needs help when getting onto high places like the couch, car or the bed. He likes the park, but gets tired quickly so we sit in a nice shady spot. Oscar the cat is very private. He loves to come inside in the morning to eat and have some cuddles. He lounges by the TV until it gets too hot and hides under the house until the evening, when he graces us with his presence again. The shrimp only need to be fed once a week and they even had babies while I was there! The fish pond was daily basic cleaning, and feeding. They were very beautiful. I absolutely LOVED all of them and the experiences we had together. The owners are very willing to give you their experience as well.
