Newington Pet care, I love animals!

Pet care experience

My dream job is to spend all day with animals, be it dogs or cats. I just love spending time with furry kids, I know I treat my fur babies as real babies and I'd like to treat your babies the same way. I can love and care for your pet and give them the attention they need while you're away. I'll love and care for your pets as though they are my own. I have two dogs; a tri-pawd golden retriever and a black lab. I have had multiple dogs for the past 15 years of my life. We love hiking, going for long walks, playing at the dog park and playing indoors. I can take care of cats and dogs, I also know how to give medications. I can keep your animals company, take them for walks and pick up poop. I have doggy sat multiple dogs for many years as well as taking care of cats.

Information Carissa P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs in all shapes and sizes. I would like to know if your dog has any behavioral issues; like if your dog doesn't do well with a certain gender, or children or adults. How active your dog is, whether or not your dog gets along well with other dogs, if so what size dogs. If your dog has basic obedience (sit, stay, down, off, come). If your dog likes car rides or long walks. also I can't take dogs more than 45 lbs for at my house care as I have two large dogs myself. if you are close and want me to visit your house then I have no size restrictions.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog It's up to you how much time you would like me to spend with your pet. I can probably spend more time with them if you allow my dogs to also play with your dog, if they get along. However, if you prefer its just me and your dog I don't mind that either. Extra house-sitting services I wouldn't mind bringing in your mail or watering plants, however if you wanted me to clean or do more, I think we'd have to discuss that more thoroughly.

Availability

I have taken a class in animal care 101 ,I know dog CPR. I understand not all dogs are alike, each dog has its own personality. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for years, where I have been trained to walk, bathe, and play properly with animals, also notice behavioral cues. I know what its like to miss your fur babies so I would send you photos and updates while I'm with your babies. I have also house sat before. I can check on your house make sure everything is off, or whatever needs to be on is on, I can bring in the mail, and most things you might need done while you're gone, such as turning on lights.
