I use treats to reward good behavior!:) i can promise and be sure to call if theres any health issues or general issues with your pet that occurs during my time caring for them. I am able to travel up to 45 min out of my area for a week or more of work. Can travel around lehigh valley and in New Jersey. I do have many years of experience with care of cats , dogs, and horses too ! I am good at keeping updates and am actively looking for summer work if you're going away on vacations. I always will have time to check on them especially during summer months while I'm not working !! I work with students during the school year but can still provide care in the fall, winter and spring months. I can crate your pup while I'm gone in needed. Always make sure they are happy and have food water and plenty of toys and they have company !!
