Pet care experience

Pets were my Childhood, Now my Life

My entire life I have been surrounded by dogs. Since the day I was brought home from the hospital my childhood home had at least two at all times. We had everything from Rottweilers (Damien, Vegas, Blackjack, Slick), Cane Corsos (Ms. Harley Quinn), English Mastiffs (Rino Nevada, Jack), Pit Bulls (Lucky Duck), Boxers (Joker), to a toy poodle (Grizzly). I have experience, sadly on two occasions, of caring for a dog from the earliest stages of terminal cancer to the last days and all that entitles. Helping them walk, carrying them if necessary, giving medications, adjusting their meals to make it easier to keep down. I also have experience with senior dogs. Anywhere from making them handmade meals to eat multiple times a day that's both easy on what teeth they may still have while also being nutritious like they need, to carrying them outside for potty breaks if their joints are flaring up, to medications/ointment/massages the doctor recommends, and cleaning up the extra messes they make accidentally and cannot control. I cannot remember a time in my life where I havent helped to take care of them. Feeding, watering, walking, playing, and loving on with pets and cuddles.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my household there are currently two cats and two dogs. Only one of the cats is mine, and the other cat and two dogs belong to my two housemates and best friends. A typical day of care for me is waking up early to get in my morning cuddles with my kitty before getting up to feed both both of the cats and check on their water. If the water wasn't refilled at some point during the previous day I dump everything out, refill, and put the required amount of water additive in it to assist my cats teeth and gums due to a chipped tooth he had at the time of my rescuing him and a tendency to have red gums along the edges of his teeth. The additive is not suppose to stay in the water longer than 24hrs, so I keep track for the times it isnt naturally taken care of by all being drank before then. I then check Kenny's litterbox for any signs of possible problems like red stool, blood, diarrhea, ect before cleaning it and putting more litter if needed. He gets some more pets and kisses, a little play if he's up for it, before heading to work. My housemate comes home during her lunch break, otherwise I would do so, to check in on all the pets and make sure everyone is doing well and has properly eaten their breakfast. When I return home from work I get treated at the door by very enthusiastic bunch. Pets, love, and a few kisses later I give Kenny his second meal (one of the puppies, Kuma, and I have an unspoken agreement that he gets four pieces of cat food sat on the floor for him), check to make sure nobody has been sick in the house and needs to have an eye kept of them, sweep up any litter or leaves in the floor, brush the Australian Sheppard out to prevent excess fur in the house, and then settle down to have some cuddle and/or play time depending on what type of mood everyone is in. Before bed the cats get one last meal, the puppies get treats, the water is checked, the little box is checked a second time for the day for any possible issues and then cleaned, and a little cat plasters himself along my entire side to settle in for some sleep. Kenny does get some gel every third day to help with hairballs, which I apply to my finger and get into his mouth to he will eat it, so that gets added in if needed. One of the dogs requires joint medicine and if needed due to schedules I also give that to her. The dogs dad likes playing ball with them daily, which I participate in if I'm around. A few times a day I also.walk around the house to make sure everything is in its place to make.it easier for Kenny to avoid bumping into things due to his lack of vision.

Arthur was wonderful. I would definitely use her to sit for Paddington again. I am hoping that she will stay in touch with us even if she is not sitting with my dog as she is a lovely person to know

I have never met someone who cares for their animals more than Arthur. They always ensure that the pet has the best vet care, eats a well-balanced diet, and gets all the cuddles. Arthur's current cat is also a special needs cat that is blind. We live together, and I have seen how Arthur tends to Kenny firsthand. Arthur made our house very accessible for Kenny and has him on a schedule for consistency. Arthur also takes care of my pets, which I have a lot of, when I am out of town. This includes reptiles, dogs, a cat, fish, and chickens. So he has lots of experience with a variety of critters!
