Active, involved, and attentive. 😄
Pet care experience
If my dogs could talk, they would tell you they take all of my free time and attention. Just as with my dogs, I wouldn't hesitate to treat yours as a prince/princess. I am constantly reading books about best training, feeding, and caring practices for pets. I have been a pup-parent to a senior dog who required special care, a middle-aged dog who suffers from anxiety and needs constant reassurance, and a young pup with high energy and need for constant potty breaks. My favorite things to do are work out and spend time with pets, and I often try to do both at once by going on walks, runs, and hikes.
About Feather B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home there is no need for physical discipline or intimidation practices. I value the bond that comes with gentle learning. In my experience, just as people, dogs do not respond well to harsh punishment or constant yelling. To build trust and bond with my pets, I often lay down or otherwise get down to their level and let them signal what they want to do (play with toys, snuggle, go outside).
Information Feather B. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed/size preferences when I am pet-sitting. Some of the things that I would love to know about your pet are: -How often does he/she have to be let out -Does he/she enjoy other animals? -Does he/she have any habits or signals I should understand. -Are there any special needs for him/her?
A typical day
I bring my dogs on regular hikes around Ferne Clyffe State Park and we enjoy walking the loop at the Crisp Sports Complex. However, we are always finding new, great places to explore!
