Pet care experience

I've been in the pet care industry since 2016, and it's been a journey filled with learning, growth, and love. From my very first day, I knew that this was the kind of work I wanted to do, not just for the paycheck, but for the dogs. I've been fortunate enough to have met some amazing people along the way who have taught me everything I needed to know about caring for dogs. They treated me with the utmost respect and helped me become the kind of pet caregiver that I am today. Throughout my experience, I've learned that caring for dogs is not just a job, it's a passion. I approach each dog with love and patience, getting to know their unique personality and needs. From feeding and exercise to playtime and snuggles, I take pride in providing the best care possible. Seeing the joy on a dog's face after a walk or a play session is what makes this work so rewarding for me. Overall, my pet care experience has taught me the value of hard work, compassion, and dedication. It's a privilege to be trusted with someone's beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to continuing to provide top-notch care for dogs and their families for years to come.

Bruce did a great job with Pebbles. He was trained where to go while I was away, and Pebbles was excited each time he came to be picked up for his new adventure. Thanks, Bruce, we'll be in touch again soon. Lisa Christie

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for pets at clients' homes, I approach the job with the same level of care and attention as I would with my own furry friends. The health and safety of the dogs under my care are my top priorities, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being. As soon as I arrive at a dog's home, my focus and attention are 100% on them. Whether it's a quick visit or a longer stay, I make sure that the dog receives my undivided attention and care. From feeding and exercise to playtime and snuggles, I provide personalized care that meets the unique needs of each dog. I am always cautious about potential hazards and risks to the dog's health and safety, and I take proactive steps to mitigate any potential issues. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs under my care, and I work hard to earn their trust and build a strong bond with them. Overall, my approach to pet care is centered on treating every dog as if they were my own, with the utmost care, attention, and love.

Information Bruce A. would like to know about your pet

As a dog caregiver, it's important to know as much as possible about a dog ahead of time to ensure that I can provide the best possible care for them. Some key pieces of information that are important to know include the dog's breed, age, size, and temperament. It's also important to know about any medical conditions the dog may have, as well as their vaccination status and any medications they may be taking. Additionally, it's helpful to know about the dog's dietary preferences and any specific routines or training techniques they respond well to. Overall, the more information I have about a dog ahead of time, the better equipped I am to provide personalized care that meets their unique needs and preferences.

A typical day

A typical day for me with dogs involves taking them out on lengthy walks, where I get to enjoy spending quality time with them and exploring the great outdoors. Whether it's local parks and trailways or busy but safe city neighborhoods, I always make sure that the dog is having a good time while being aware of our surroundings. During our walks, I always bring treats, water, and bags to ensure that the dog is well taken care of and has everything they need. If it's safe and appropriate, I also like to let the dog socialize with other dogs or people we encounter on our walks. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a fun and stimulating experience for the dog while ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. Whether it's exploring new trails or playing fetch in the park, I'm always up for an adventure with my furry friends!
