I love fur, feathers and hooves!

Pet care experience

I've always had a connection to animals since childhood. My family had a small hobby farm growing up and I would spend my free time reading out by the chickens, batting a softball for my lab-spaniel mix to fetch or laying in the grass with my guinnea pig and rabbit. I volunteered with Adopt-A-Pet animal rescue for eight years in many capacities including foster mom. Besides pet sitting, I've also worked in the Petsmart grooming salon and have a grooming certification. I've worked as an animal caretaker on several organic farms and have the skills necessary to petsit animals considered farm animals. I have a calm demeanor about me which animals sense and quickly feel comfortable around me. I also have the patience it takes to work well with animals. I value good communication, honesty, diligence, punctuality and quality care.

Information Desire M. would like to know about your pet

I will currently care for all breeds and sizes. I want to know if the dog has habits that I should be aware of both good and bad. For example, is your dog on a certain time schedule for going outside, or does your dog have food aggression tendencies? I will need to know if your dog is on any medication and what the scheduling and dosage is. I like to know what your dog's favorite activities and toys are. Does your dog get along with other sized dogs or other pets? What kind of house rules do you have for your dog? Such as, are they allowed on furniture, and are they allowed dog friendly "people food" snacks? I will continue following your rules to make your dog comfortable and so they don't develope any bad habbits while in my care. I'm speaking mostly of dogs but if your rabbit or pot bellied pig has any special preferences I’ll take good care of them too.

A typical day

I love being outside so if your pet loves it too, that's where we'll probably spend most of our time. We can walk in the neighborhood or at favorite parks. I love going to the dog park too! I offer grooming as well and I’d love to discuss options for your pet. Rates are based on breed and size of dog.
