I am a registered nurse that currently works from home with a somewhat flexible schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I can likely make myself available to check in on local pets or have a furry coworker for the day.

Information Hattie I. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and what special cares are needed. I will try to accommodate and if I do not feel comfortable, I will let you know. Any general information on pets likes/dislikes are very helpful.

A typical day

We can go for walks and take some time for the dogs to experience different smells, go to local parks, play fetch, play with your dog’s favorite toys, etc. Please let me know what activities your pet likes and I will let you know if I can accommodate. If your furbaby loves kids, this is a plus as my kids are animal lovers and love to play all day with them! I also understand if they are nervous or reactive and will do my best to be a person they feel safe and calm around. I have been around and lived with an occasional reactive dog. I feel pretty confident in my demeanor around them, but every dog is different. So if you do have a pet that has any behavioral sensitivities, please let me know and we can schedule a Meet & Greet to make sure I am the right fit for your fur family.

Pets

Animal loving former farm girl.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, emus, chickens, goats, sheep, horses and cows. All of them were pets on our little 64 acre funny farm, and I also spent a lot of time on my extended family’s operational farms and have an understanding of working animals. I no longer live on a farm, I miss it and I want my animal loving kiddos to have the opportunity to learn and grow with various pets. Feel free to reach out and ask if I marked a day as unavailable. Occasionally, I can make accommodations and my husband is often available to help out if needed. If my kids (14yo & 9yo) are available, they love to love on and play with any pets they can, so feel free to let me know if you have a preference of kids being around your pets or not.

Hattie provides outstanding services to our puppy! She was able to handle our energetic puppy until he became calm and a good listener. Hattie also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of our puppy that we enjoyed so much. Thank you so much for taking care of rusty!
