Currently loving my own 2 pibbles, 1 being disabled & requires great patience. Raised with several big & small dogs, & other kinds of pets. I have volunteered at the Berkeley Animal Care Services where I walked the dogs & comforted them in their kennels. I have a special place in my heart for pitbulls, but honestly I am a sucker for any kind of pet. Feeding times for my 1 dog Pigby takes 20-45 mins twice a day, as she has swallowing issues. Her issues requires that one be fine with possible daily dog vomit so I'm used to cleaning up "gross messes" on an hourly basis. She's taught me more about patience than any other pet I've owned. I treat all of my pets, as well as family and friends' pets as if they were my child. I spoil them with affection & positive reinforcement. Growing up with both Dobermans and Rottweilers, I've learned how to pay attention to my surroundings, their behaviors, and the behavior of others in order to maintain fun safe playtime and feedings. I don't have any professional trainer background, but I do know a few tips for working on basic needs. I will be upfront & honest if I do not think I'll be a good fit for your pet's needs. I have also watched and cared for cats. I know how to approach them, feed, and clean up litter boxes for several different kinds of cats. I've looked after my own neighbors and friends' cats to make sure they feel confident their fur babies are safe while they're away.
