The Best Nanny for Your Pup

Pet care experience

I am caring and responsible and detail oriented . I raised an Alaskan Malamute (now 8 years old) from puppyhood I have extensive experience in caring for with all breed , older , special need , special personality (aren't they all special personality anyway ..). Most and above all I deeply care for the animals well being and enrichment. ---- SAFETY & CARE The safety and comfort of your furry friend (s) is my upmost priority. I am extremely careful when I arrive to pick up at the animal house . and triple careful when I am caring for cats. When outside the house , the pup will ALWAYS be leashed up and under my control. I believe that the animal will be safe as long as I have control on them. To achieve this I try and establish trust with the animal immediately upon encountering them. I practice basic commands every day to aid in establishing good comfortable communication with the animal. I am detail oriented, I watch the animal demeanor, attitude a lot. I learnt to notice when they may be shy, social , happy, hyper, scared, upset , belligerent, tired, thirsty hungry etc . I believe in practicing consistent calm, patience, love, respect with the animals. In return, they will rapidly trust my leadership because they will feel safe with me. This method help ensure that their stay with me will be comfortable, and safe. ENVIRONMENT ( for boarding service) I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse. There is no yard but there is an enclosed patio. I work 5 minute’s walk away from my house. I also work from home . My house is very dog friendly as well as my neighborhood A typical routine day for a dog under my care pet care could be - 7AM /8AM- Morning Walk- - 8AM meal #1 - 1 PM/ 2PM- midday Walk - 7PM /8PM Walk before dinner - 8PM meal #2 - 9PM/10PM Walk before bed time I will spend a lot of time playing with , walking, and entertaining your furry friend to make sure he/she is not too sad that you are not here.

If there were more than five stars, we would give Awa more! She took such good care of our furbaby, Mini! We received photos, videos & detailed reports every single day! She went over and above and since we have a special needs, senior dog who is handicapped, she does require a lot of attention and Awa gave it to her. You can tell that she genuinely cares and puts 100% effort into making sure that all of your dogs needs are met. Mini was happy and healthy when we got home.

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely careful when I arrive to pick up at the animal house . and triple careful when I am caring for cats. At my house the only outside is to a patio which is fully enclosed. When on walk , no matter what , the pup will ALWAYS be leashed up and under my control. I try and establish trust with the animal immediately upon the few moments of encountering them. I always practice basic commands to aid in establishing good comfortable communication with the animal. I believe in practicing patience/ love respect with the animals and they return the same such that their stay with me will be comfortable, and safe.

Information Awa G. would like to know about your pet

1) I will usually prefer ( require) to meet you and you cat or dog ahead of the stay 2) I would like to know about the animal reactivity to people, children , other animal, skateboarders, bicyclists, joggers ??? 3)any special habit, special toys, 4) allergy, food/ treat to give , not to give ( by default, I use a few of the pup kibble for treats) 4) All and all about the amazing personality of your furry friend

A typical day
