Your pets are my passion

Pet care experience

Throughout my 3 1/2 years of experience working with dogs at both Wagging Tails Doggie Daycare and Dogtopia, I have gained invaluable knowledge and developed special skills in various aspects of dog care. From training puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, my time spent in these establishments has equipped me with a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. One of my most notable skills is puppy training. At Wagging Tails Doggie Daycare, I had the opportunity to work closely with young pups, teaching them basic commands and socializing them with other dogs. This involved implementing positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and discourage negative habits. Through consistent training sessions, I witnessed remarkable transformations as these puppies grew into well-behaved and obedient companions. Additionally, my experience at Dogtopia allowed me to develop expertise in senior dog care. I learned how to cater to the unique needs of older canines, such as administering medication or adjusting exercise routines to accommodate their physical limitations. Patience and compassion were crucial when dealing with senior dogs who may have experienced health issues or mobility challenges. Overall, my time at both Wagging Tails Doggie Daycare and Dogtopia has provided me with a comprehensive skill set in dog care. Whether it be training puppies or providing specialized attention for senior dogs, I am confident in my ability to ensure the well-being and happiness of our furry friends

One word. Exceptional. Chanira took care of Shadow with no difficulties. Her communication with us through the duration of her care was elite. She had games for him, allowed him proper exercise and provided him with his favorite treats. I would definitely recommend her services to friends, and family and hopefully become a regular client. Where we had doubts about letting our Shadow be companioned by another, Chanira reassured us. A true professional .

Omg!!! Chanira is amazing!! She went above and beyond for our 5 year old Rottweiler!! He stayed with her four nights! She had activities lined up for him and even got him a Christmas gift! Chanira kept us updated the entire time. We were nervous because Bronx never stayed with anyone except us. He loved Chanira! She even administered medication! It is without reservation that I recommend her. ♥️

Growing up at a young age Chanira grew the love for dogs. Every dog she passes by she have to introduce herself in a friendly manner if was approved by the owner. Starting to professionally work with dogs at the age of 17 at Wagging Tail doggie daycare located in Atlanta she continues her passion for dogs to college and work at Dogtopia in Baton Rouge. Additionally to her expertise, Chanira’s reliability is unmatched. Pet parents can rest assured knowing that their furry friends are in safe hands when they entrust them to her care. She consistently demonstrates responsibility by adhering to schedules and providing timely updates on your pet's well-being.

Caring for pets is a responsibility that requires dedication, patience, and love. Whether it is in my own home or in a client's home, I ensure that the well-being of the animals is my top priority. In my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for my pets. This includes regular feeding and watering to meet their nutritional needs.

Regular grooming sessions are essential to maintain their hygiene and prevent any health issues. I create a loving atmosphere by spending quality time with my pets. This involves playing with them, engaging in interactive activities, and giving them attention and affection.

Information Chanira D. would like to know about your pet

Before bringing a furry friend into our homes, it is essential to know certain things about them ahead of time. Understanding the specific needs of the chosen pet is crucial. Different animals have different requirements in terms of food, exercise, and living conditions. For example, dogs need regular walks and playtime to stay healthy and happy, while cats are more independent but still require mental stimulation. Researching these needs beforehand ensures that we can provide the necessary care for our pets. Knowing about potential health issues is vital for responsible pet ownership. Some breeds are prone to specific diseases or allergies that may require extra attention or veterinary care. Being aware of these conditions allows us to take preventive measures and seek appropriate medical treatment when needed. Furthermore, learning about their behavior and temperament helps create a harmonious environment for both the pet and its owner. Understanding how they communicate or express their emotions enables us to respond appropriately and build a strong bond with them.

A typical day

Pets bring joy, companionship, and endless entertainment to our lives. As a pet sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure that the pets I watch have a fun and fulfilling experience while their owners are away. There are several activities that I plan to engage in with the pets under my care. Exercise is crucial for the physical and mental well-being of animals. Taking dogs for long walks or runs in the park not only helps them burn off excess energy but also provides an opportunity for them to explore new scents and socialize with other dogs. For cats, interactive play sessions with toys such as feather wands or laser pointers can keep them active and engaged. Mental stimulation is equally important. Puzzle toys filled with treats can challenge dogs' problem-solving skills while keeping them entertained for hours. For cats, hiding treats around the house or providing scratching posts can help satisfy their natural instincts. Bonding activities like grooming sessions or cuddle time are essential for building trust and strengthening the human-animal bond. Brushing a dog's coat not only keeps it healthy but also provides an opportunity for relaxation and bonding. Cats often enjoy being brushed as well, which helps reduce shedding and prevents hairballs. Lastly, incorporating training sessions into daily routines can be both educational and fun for pets. Teaching basic commands like sit, stay, or paw not only stimulates their minds but also enhances their obedience skills.
