10+ Years Of All Kinds Of Pet Care

All pricing is negotiable!! Animals have been the focal point of my life for well over 2 decades. I started by walking my own dogs when I entered the "double digits" age range and went on to walk other dogs for friends and family and various types of pet sitting from there. I got my pet grooming certification from Animal Behavior College in 2015 and although I do not have a portable tub, I do have plenty of portable tools that I can use to groom your dog in the comfort of their own home. If I seem familiar in the face you may have seen me at Tractor Supply as I worked there for almost 6 years and took the opportunity to befriend and help people and their pets however I could. For well over two decades I've taken care of pets. I've helped family & friends with their pets and they have recommended me to some of their friends who have needed some help with their pets. I have done everything from drop in/check in days to overnights to random walks throughout the week. My pet experience is with mainly dogs and cats. I have worked with various other animals that I can elaborate on upon request. I love having specific notes about each pet as well so that I can be certain that I am giving them the care they require.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is a family member. He has several dog beds but prefers to sleep on my bed. He's not one to gorge himself on food so we usually fill his bowl in the morning and let him eat as he wishes sometimes topping it off during the day. We keep his water constantly filled and fresh. The only thing I can't give him is constant access to the backyard as we do not have a dog door, but when we let him out he generally decides how long he wants to spend outside as out yard is completely fenced in. I generally do not follow my own rules for my own dog when caring for someone else's pet. I believe in trying to follow their schedule and rules to the best of my ability as I feel that the owner knows best. If I ever have any concerns I reach out as soon as possible and discuss the best course of action to the concerns I have. I give all my love and attention to the pets I care for as if they were my own, but I make sure to follow their schedules and rules.

Schedule

As of right now I am very much open and flexible when it comes to my schedule. I currently work in the delivery field so I try to work several hours in between checking in on my furry friends. With this kind of work I have been given the opportunity to spend more time with my own dog so I also like making time for him during my day as well. However, I've found over the years of doing this that some pets need more one on one time than others for a variety of reasons (from age to anxiety to specific medical reasons) so I can absolutely adjust any time slots I make in the day to attend to any specific needs a pet may have. As I said before, I love having as much detail of a pet as possible so I can make sure they are getting the care they need. The more details the better and that goes for scheduling as well.

I love details. Whatever information you find important, I want to know. Please feel free to write pages of care instructions if that helps you and the pet feel comfortable!!
