Pet care experience

Strong but Mighty!!

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all around me have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and backgrounds! My family dog passed in February at the age of 17, I am very comfortable with elderly dogs as well as specific needs or disabled dogs. So, caring for pets has always been something close to me.

Safety, trust & environment

Before my senior dog passed, I had the house baby proofed for his safety. I provide as many walks a day as needed, with plenty of sniff time. I always pick up and properly dispose of waste. I prefer to keep dogs on their leashes during walks to ensure their safety. During the summer, I am lenient with walk times due to heat and am open to providing additional shorter walks to avoid overheating. I also avoid wearing perfumes or other scented products when meeting a new animal. In a new space, I will allow the pet to have autonomy and explore their surrounding on their own so they can become more comfortable.

Something important for me to know ahead of time is any allergies your pet may have, medications they take, or additional steps to ensure their safety. It is helpful to know more about their personality as well, if they are shy around strangers, if they tolerate other animals, if they are food aggressive etc.
