I have had pets my entire life and do not know who I would be without them. My first job was dog walking, starting at age eleven. I have provided walks and house sitting professionally for the past six years. During these past six years, I have assisted with puppy training and have had significant experience in working with pets who have dietary restrictions. I am a dental resident and ask for a little flexibility with my schedule. Additionally, I miss being constantly around my furry friends! I am happy to provide walks or home visits. The majority of my open time is during weekends and evenings. My main priority is ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. Because of this, I try to keep pets in their familiar routines and surroundings. I like to either meet a client in-person or over video call to discuss their pet's needs. For walks, I like to discuss rewards methods, familiar routes, and how their dogs interact with other people and dogs. As a safety precaution, I make doggy info sheets with client's contact information, vet information, and any health conditions. For home visits, I like to learn more about how my client's pet interacts with their surroundings. I ask the client to set out favorite toys, treats, and one item of worn clothing (like an old t-shirt). I find a lot of pets are comforted by the smell of their person. I like to ask about habits (i.e. my own dogs have to go out within an hour of eating) to try to keep a pet on their own routine. Like with the walks, I make pet info sheets, but they are more detailed to account for additional requirements or nuances associated with care. I try my best to make every accommodation possible for my clients, so special requests will be fulfilled whenever possible.
