Mom Son Paws B-Sitting Duo

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ PROFILE FULLY. I have been around animals my entire life. I have even exposed my sons to many furry and none furry friends since they were babies. My family has had birds, rabbits, turtles, cats, dogs, and lizards; even some at the same time. I am known as the healer because I have always tended to my pet's cuts, scraps, and scratches...you name it, only if the intervention of a vet is not needed. We love animals and have a few ourselves. Our pup Loki is a beagle with a sweet loving personality who just loves loves to make friends. Loki loves to play with my kids and especially other dogs. We also have three leopard geckos named Sunny, Pokey, and Nosey, and one giant day gecko called Yoshi. I consider my pets my children and consider those I care for the same. My sons and I love meeting new four-legged friends and enjoy spending time with them.

Information Cristina M. would like to know about your pet

The more detail and information about your fur baby the better! - Housetrained? Pad trained? ect. (Please note that if deep cleaning is needed for any carpet or furniture a pet urinates on will be an additional charge.) Let me know ahead of time in order to plan better. - Crate trained? (If so, please provide crate) - Child, cat, and any other animal friendly? (I have two boys, a 14 and 9-year-old and usually board cats as well.) - Medications? (Please provide detailed instructions on how to administer each medication, in writing.) - Toy destroyer? (I have had to replace my pup's toys multiple times because another pup tore it apart. I would suggest providing their own toys and notifying me so I may hind my pups toys away.) *I recommend providing your puts food and water bowls as I only have one set available for my pup, in addition to brining their own bed, toys, treats, and food.

A typical day

While your dog is with us they will feel love all around as my sons and I love animals; especially, my 9 year old who hugs and kisses and wants to sleep with them. Because we are in the city there are not many places to take the dogs unless it is a dog park and it tends to get crowded. I typically take them for 30 to 45 min walks around the neighborhood day and night. I also will take them to my mothers as she has a fenced yard where they run around and play.
