Bachelors in zoology!

Pet care experience

Hi! So a little about me, I have fostered dogs for a few years now and have had my own pets since i was 9 years old, my two senior babies( Missy and Cookie) passed away last year, they were 16 years old and I still think about them every day, but it helps when I get to help and meet new pups, it’s everything I have ever wanted to do, I have also fostered pigs, cats, rabbits, ducks, lovebirds, chinchillas, mice, turtles/tortoises and the list goes on. I have my bachelors in zoology, and have complete open availability, I am very careful about schedules and dietary needs as well, if that’s something your pet needs, message me and let’s set something up ! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a 1 year old standard poodle who loves to play with other dogs, he’s the sweetest boy who just loves to have fun. But he does very well around older dogs, and understands when they need to be left alone if they do not want him around or if he needs to be gentle around them.

Information Carissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pups have special needs before hand, any medications how many times a day and what times. As well as if they use diapers and sleeping times things like that are very important so that I can get a feel for how my days will be scheduled around each pup.

A typical day

I have a small pool I fill up every morning if they like to jump in, some do and some don’t, I also have a box of toys I let them choose from. It’s a lot of fun watching which toy they choose!

I am currently working a couple hours a week and so I have plenty of time to spend with pups at home. I like to spend time outside as well as lounging on the couch depending on each dogs energy level.
