Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Bianca. I fed, washed and looked after our family dogs Peter Rabbit(20 lbs) ,Dexter Morgan (95lbs). I also took care of a small Morkie (3lbs) in his last 3 years of his 17 years of life. All were rescue dogs and had their issues due to their life before my family. I have trained my cousins aggressive dog using patience, treats, and of course gentleness and i am not put off, by wary dogs. I am well equipped to handle dogs of all sizes who pull on leash or have aggression issues. O currently have a Poodle/PitBull mix who is a year and a half. She is very energetic and I often take her hiking and on jobs with me when the situation allows it. I was enrolled in a veterinary assisting class in 2013 and received training on administering medication, treating injuries, and even CPR for dogs. I have since put this skill to work in giving required medical injections for clients dogs, bandaging injured dogs from my daycare, and even treating dogs suffering from heat stroke. I've taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. From snakes, birds, rabbits, fish, tadpoles, rats, dogs, cats, to even tarantulas and an alligator snapping turtle for a summer. I often work as a private nanny, and will also be hired on to care for the animals of those clients as well along with their children.
Reviews
Bianca stayed in our house for a week and was extremely responsive to messages, sent us pictures of our dogs and let the house in good order.
Bianca gave me peace of mind while on vacation. My dog Tubby is diabetic and mostly blind; he needs insulin twice a day. She was timely and provided me with photos and feedback during her visits. Tubby was relaxed and well regulated when I returned. She also kept my chickens well fed and hydrated and our mail safe. I would highly recommend her as a reliable resource and would personally book again. Thanks Bianca!
Bianca is great! We needed someone to walk Sage last minute and Bianca was able to. Bianca has walked Sage twice now, and is very flexible and Sage loves it! Thank you!
I have a dog that has fear aggression and guarding issues, and Bianca was fantastic with her. She clearly knows how to handle large dogs with behavioral problems. It can be really nerve-wracking for me to find a capable sitter for both my dogs. Bianca was great!

I try my best to keep to the schedule that my clients have set up woth their dogs so that while you are away your pets don't get stressed or lonely.I don't offer care at my home, but I do offer overnight stays at my clients house and daily check ins.
Information Bianca H. would like to know about your pet
While I said above that I can handle aggressive dogs, I would like to be notified before an initial meeting. I am not biased just because of this, it simply helps me understand the dog that I will be interacting with better. For example a skittish dog may taking it wrong if I move to fast or if I accidentally make eye contact. They could also react to me being in their territory or shaking hands with you so it is highly important to notify me.
A typical day
Because I watch the dogs at the owners place, I try to stay local. I always take the dogs to parks in the area or dog parks. If the dogs are used to me and the owners are comfortable with it I also enjoy taking them for hikes and other adventures. If it's raining I'll often keep them occupied inside with small toys or if they don't mind the rain we still go out and I keep a towel in my car to dry them off after.
