About Hayley M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As you would be the one trusting me with your space and pets, I dedicate myself to the instructions you leave. I am unafraid to ask questions or contact you if something seems inconsistent with your pet. It is important to keep pets within their normal routines for the sake of their comfort, so I commit to do so when I am with your furry family.
Information Hayley M. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know if your dog(s) has a set routine they prefer and if they are reactive to other animals, sounds, or images. I also like to know if you use specific language so I can have them respond best to my requests. For example, some people simply say "No" to their dog while others will command "Leave it" when the pet is distracted by something. I also like to know if they have any special quirks about them, such as wanting to chase birds or if they enjoy sitting on the sofa with their carer. I want to replicate what makes them feel safe and happy as much as possible!
A typical day
In my experience, pets are most comfortable when they are able to stick to a routine. Because of this, I focus my care on maintaining the same routine that they have when their owners are with them, but I always add a bit of flair so pets feel like my presence is a reward. Does your dog always get a treat after a walk? Perhaps I will wrap it in a towel so they can have fun getting it out. Do they enjoy walking in the park? After the walk, we can take the long way home and stop for new smells. I want pets to associate me with comfortable and happy feelings, so I enjoy knowing their routines and their favorite things.

Pet care experience
Born and raised in a city that is on the "Top 20 US Cities to Raise Your Pets" list, I know what it takes to make a pet feel as loved and cared for as when they’re with you. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, gerbils, and even ant farms. My family travels a lot and we have personally experienced the anxiety of leaving our furry family member in the care of others while away. I know that feeling can take away from your trip. I take seriously doing whatever I can to ease your worry about leaving your pet. I take notes of your instructions, stick to the pets' routines, and send updates of how your pets are enjoy their time with me. My first ever best friend was my childhood dog and I carry him in my heart when I get to care for other pets.
