Animal lover to love your animals!
Pet care experience
There has only been one year of my entire life where I haven't had at least one pet. Dogs of various sizes, far more than my fair share of cats, and in more recent years, reptiles, amphibians, chickens, and rabbits! I have lots of experience with caring for pregnant animals and litters of puppies and kittens (including newborns), animals with various health conditions, various energy levels, and caring for all ages and species of pets. I have also cared for the pets of many other people over the years, including farm animals. Friends and family have entrusted me with higher need pets, larger quantities of animals, pets with health problems, and pregnant dogs and cats. I have some basic dog/puppy training experience with my current 2 year old dog. I use positive renforcement and clear tones and boundaries. She is also a high anxiety reactive dog, so I have been learning the body language and how to tell what needs a dog is expressing, and what action to take to meet their needs! On top of all that, my girlfriend, whom I live with, works at the exotic pet store Animal Ark Orem and has been there for 2.5 years. She has knowlege of care for all types of pets and professional training in administering shots to many species (including insulin shots to diabetic animals). If your pet needs specific care like that, with your permission, I'll bring her along to help, and I'll sort out getting her paid myself, so you won't need to worry about that part!
Reviews
Harmony watched our cats while we were away and it was a HUGE relief knowing Harmony was there. They were so kind and responsible and my cats LOVED them. Harmony clearly knows how to care for animals, and they were able to give my senior cat medicine and play with my cats, which gave me a huge peace of mind while I’m away. They are excellent and y’all should definitely book them!
Harmony did a great job taking care of my dogs!
I've know Harmony since I was born! We've always had lots of pets and Harmony has always been very loving and caring towards every animal they come across. They're responsible, smart, and good at reading behavior and listening when it comes to animals. You can always rest assured your animal is in safe hands with Harmony.
Harmony is wonderful with animals! It is clear that she cares deeply for the animals she is responsible for. Harmony took particularly good care of my cat for me over the course of several weeks.

Safety, trust & environment
I have the utmost respect for the pets and properties of others. When I come to your home to care for your pet(s), I come with excitement to make a new furry friend! I know how to safely approach animals, read their body language, and let them approach me on their own terms so they feel safe and unthreatened. I want to show any and all animals that I am a safe friend that loves them just for existing! I'll also remain very aware and respectful of your home and property, and ensure that if a pet mess is made, it will be promptly and thoroughly taken care of!
Information Harmony W. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about a dog's personality; things they like to do, special toys they may have, favorite places to walk to. It's also important to know their demeanor; anxious, friendly, lazy, cuddly, curious, playful, etc. I love 'em all! It just helps to know what kind of activities they may want me to do with them. And, it helps to know if they have higher needs or are easier to care for. That way, I can know what to expect and act accordingly. As for cats, just let me know where to feed and water them, what toys are their favorites, how they like to be pet, or if they even like to be pet, what their personalities are like, and we're all set!
A typical day
Depending on what each dog likes, I love to make sure they're happy and having fun! I can do longer walks or shorter walks. I love spending time at parks, and I can run around some and play fetch or tug with dogs! I also love providing mental stimulation, such as giving them puzzles to solve! And if you have a low-energy dog that just likes to laze around or cuddle, I'll love and pet them til' their heart's content! With cats, I just love hanging out with them and playing with them for as long as they need! Cats never fail to entertain me.

Availability
I am currently working part time for a job that calls me in if they need someone. However, work days are short, and flexible. I am also training for another job, but if you request a booking before I have a training day schedule, I can absolutely work around that. I occasionally have appointments I need to get to, but if you request a booking at the same time as one, it would be as simple as moving the time of the booking around an hour or so! So long as you can work with minor time adjustments as-needed, I can happily and easily fit you and your pet into my schedule!
