Safety, trust & environment

I pay attention to location of plants, making sure they are out of reach and not a hazard to pets. I make sure all toys left out are safe, not too small to chock on. Making sure toys don't have anything to tangle up with. I'll watch to make sure pets don't eat too fast and get sick.

Information David G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet size and behavior. Knowing how they react around other animals can help me on walks, so I know what is best to avoid and look for. I am also happy to help train behaviors as jumping up and sitting.

A typical day

I will make sure your pet gets the attention it needs. If it just wants someone close but still needs space, I will sit next to them and read or pet. If the need more affection I am good with lap sits and play time. I can provide treats as desired by the pet's parents. Walks and run time for younger dogs and providing comfortable spots for older dogs.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with cats and dogs, two dogs and 4 cats over my lifetime. Both outdoor indoor pets and I am very active with them. Pets need love and support from us as much as we need it from them. I spent three years volunteering at the Oregon zoo working with animals. I am flexible and creative, easily adapting to pet's needs. I am also patient and calm with them. I have loved animals since I was a kid. I refused to hit a piñata at a party because it was animal shaped. I will love your pets as if they are my own. I am always happiest when I am around pets.
