Safety, trust & environment

It depends on your situation, and how your pet is living now. If you have indoor pets, I will keep them strictly indoor. If they are outdoors only, I will guarantee that. I prefer to discuss to each person personally and keep the pet as comfortable and familiar with routine as possible. I write/type notes about feeding schedule, potty schedule, personality, favorite toys and more as we discuss your expectations. This is so I have no excuse to forget certain things, even the l smallest details.

Information Dorthy E. would like to know about your pet

Does he have any fears? Good with other dogs or children? House trained? Are there any allergies you know of? Are the more quiet, or do they bark at everything?

A typical day

I walk in public parks! Specifically one that has grass. I would bring toys, or borrow one of their favorites, and let the dogs chase and chew toys! On the walks, I occasionally add in a small jog to keep your pets engaged! Or I just stay at home watching a good movie with them, all depends on your pet needs! For cats, I prefer to alternate toys. I like to keep playful cats alert. Or just give them their space and let them stare at me. Whatever makes them happy!

Pet care experience

I’ve experienced dogs 2lbs up to 120 lbs! I’ve also walked up to 4 dogs simultaneously, as long as they get along somewhat. I’m experienced with administering oral medication to dogs, cats and small animals. I’m not afraid to do many task, so do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I love to do meet and greets when possible! I just wait for your pet to be comfortable with me, even if they are barking or hissing, they’re just warming up. I love to hear about a day in the life of living with your pet! Especially the little habits and fun quirks that you created in your family. I’m extremely open minded! Dogs will get plenty of snuggles, playtime, snacks, or anything they want and need! I like to give them enough time outside to enjoy the sun, and even sun bathe if they want. Cats will get to play with their favorite toys or they can stare at me from afar. Regardless, they will get a clean litter box and a scoop of their favorite kibble or wet food from me!
