Pet care experience

Dog and cat lover!

I recently started having a more flexible work schedule, so I am re-opening my profile! I am excited to care for pets around the Metro Detroit area! I took care of dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, plants, and more for many families in Kalamazoo while in college (on and off of Rover.com)! I love taking dogs for walks, playing with all kinds of pets, and making sure they have all the food and water they need. A few years ago I helped train a puppy and I learned how to entertain highly energetic dogs. When I enter a home I always bond with the animals there!

Safety, trust & environment

I always use a happy but calmer voice to greet new pets and do whatever I can to make sure they are not afraid, including getting down to their level and allowing them to approach me first. When pets are eating I make sure to give them lots of space. I make going outside to go potty seem like a fun thing that I am inviting them to do. I keep a close eye on pets and prioritize their comfortability to build trust.

A typical day

I love to take pets for walks to explore the outdoors. Exercise is very important and I love seeing how happy pets are when they go outside. My house also has a small fenced backyard for shorter trips outside! I love playing with pets' toys, relaxing with pets, and petting the pet whenever they are near me.

I would also like to know the pet's personality and what they enjoy doing for playtime! Their eating schedule and preferences are also important. It would also be helpful to know if they are welcoming or standoffish with new people.
