Pet care experience

Esmeralda, Hi! (Discounts given)

Note: Please ask if I am available at the times needed. I may put unavailable due to working at night or early in the day. I work in a first aid job so ask please. I keep the calendar updated as best I can. I have experience from pets in the family small and big. Cats and dogs. Only 1 official year under my Uncle Growing up I preferred to be around animals. In the family, someone has a dog, I hang out with them first. As long as they say it is fine. I was even spoken to from older family members. They grew up with sheep, goats and chickens. More animals as well, along with dogs. On how to approach an animal. Their behaviors. Me being thorough helps me out if they have meds etc... Just a day to day account is enough. For dog walks please tell me if they do not like something. Birds, noises and more. The important thing is for you to see if you can trust me with your pet. If it will not work let me know. This is due to you knowing your pets best! I am willing to learn how to care for small medical needs. I only ask you show me what to do. I am working on getting dog first aid certified. I have done Insulin shot, show me first though. Next to my name I put discounts given, below is an example. The first thing I do is same price for 15 and 30 min. drop-ins. I do not put an increase on it. Ex. $18 for one day for 2 pets. $9 each for 2 dogs/cats (It is $18 each for drop-ins, cats are $16 each no discount) This is so I can have each dog/cat recorded.

Been using her for 1hr dog walks while I’m at work and treats my pup like it’s her own! Highly recommend

Esmeralda was great with my 3 cats! She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of my cats was very anxious the entire stay, but she made sure he was comfortable and kept me updated on him. Would highly recommend.

Schedule

I enjoy taking care of pets, to the point people think that a dog is mine. I enjoy walking a dog and keeping an eye out so they can relax. Always down to watch a dog when I have time. I understand from having my own 2 cats how picky they are.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Esmeralda can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Walks: If you want me to stay close by, any houses you are aware not to pass by. If anything, I will keep an eye out myself for any signs and items on grass and fences. Overall: I like to see if I will be a good fit for the dog. If it is a no I will let you know. I know my limits, due to experience. I am open to bigger dogs; I would like to take them for a walk. See if I can keep up first before deciding. For Drop-ins mostly: The allergies What makes them uncomfortable and more. What calms them down: Favorite toy blanket, a song anything Dog prefers Public or secluded areas. This will help me determine if I am a good fit. I want to make sure your dog has someone they can be with and be fine. Along with trust is all :) Sitting at your place: Favorite place to walk to and how far it is ( I walk only ) ************************** Ignore, having it here for when I do Board For Board: A dog that likes kids and people, a good temper. ************************************************************* Housesitting and drop-ins ** Oral medicine only to cats. Soft biters only, if they do.
