Information Ayana M. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences. However, I do have a special love for pits!! I would like to know the general questions: - Breed and age of pet? - Do they have any medical needs? (allergies, medication) - How are they with other dogs(big/small) and/or cats? - Are there any training's that you want me to reinforce? - Do they have a favorite treat/food/toy? - Any special commands that they know? - Are they shy or friendly towards new people? - What’s your relationship like with your pet and why did you choose them or they choose you?

A typical day

Rain, shine, or snow (because Boston weather is crazy sometimes :) ) your pet and I will go on walks around the neighborhood. If it’s a quick walk I also have an back yard unfenced for them to explore while leashed. Whether your dog want to play fetch until they’re tired, socialize, sniff around, or just sit next my feet and enjoy a nice head pat I will make sure I accommodate their needs and wants during the walk/stay. On a walk or stay, I like to reinforce any training that’s implemented at home. I have a clicker (was used for my cat/other dogs) and my own treats (if okay with owner) I use for training. I also like to implement positive rewards with lots of verbal praises and belly rubs. Any activities, low to high energy, while your pet is in my care, will always be catered to their needs. Cats: I have plenty of cat toys and treat (if permitted by owner) for your pet. Periodic checks on them will be done in my care and pet/cuddle attention (if pet is okay with it) Boarding: *I ask that crates or bedding is provided. * For older dogs- I do have a lot of stairs outside my house but we can take it slow going up and down. For cat/dog, they would sleep in my living room and I have a closed off space to roam between the front sun room, my bedroom, and living room. Cats: They will have a closed off area to roam with secured window screens. I live on the second floor which has three windows facing the street, so they can look out the windows and watch birds fly by or have a nice nap.

Pet care experience

*******CHECK OUT MY********* Instagram Account: am_bospet ********* 9/11/18 Featured on Rovers Instagram page. Check it out!************* *******FOR MORE CLIENTS****** Hello! My name is Ayana. I worked with Boston Dog walks for the past 7 years and have a huge love of dogs and cats. I’ve walked many different breeds and have experience with various temperaments and medical conditions. Walking dogs for a while I learned one of the biggest qualities to have is a calm temperament and patience with high energy, aggressive (protective), or timid pets. They can sense when you’re stressed so my main objective is for your pet to feel safe and comfy, along with you (owner) as well. Availability: At home three days out the week. Willing & flexible to work around your schedule I’m home during the weekday after 5pm and if you need references I can easily provide that to you. I can work with your schedule.
