I am very flexible especially when life gets in the way. I do work full time but my current job is pet friendly so I can have your pet with me. Calmness is very big. Any pet parent knows that with animals things don’t always go according to plan. But I will remain patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. Sensitive- it is very important to recognizes the needs of your pet and responds to them. A person should realize when your pet doesn’t want to play anymore and give her space. I can affectionately and never use physical punishment or force, like dragging on your dog's leash during a walk. Trustworthy - Since you'll probably be handing your spare keys to me, it's very important that you can trust me to have access to your home. Experienced - I have handled so many dogs during my lifetime. I grew up that my dogs are treated like family. I have taken care of family & friends pets. Consistency - You've probably worked hard to teach your pet the rules of the house. I will make sure I know If you don’t allow your pooch to lie on the sofa or sleep in your bed, I wouldn't want to undo your training by bending the rules, even if your pet gives me the begging puppy-dog-eyes! Reliable - I am here to make your everyday life easier -- not to cause you additional headache wondering if I'll be late or show up at all. It's important that you can rely on me schedule your plans confidently. As long as you can set clear agreements we will be just fine. I know things happens and if I am running late (as happens to everyone occasionally), give me protocol for letting you know how to handle these situations. I have a Genuine Love for Animals and will show love for your pets because I am a person who loves animals as if they were my own pets. I will take notes about your pet's eating habits, characteristics if you need me to. I am interested and dedicated to getting to know your pet and its personal needs. - Connection to Your Pet is a real big deal with me.
