I’m not working right now, but I am a new mom. I’m able to do drop ins and walks after 6pm for anyone who is uncomfortable or who’s furry friends don’t like kids! My little is only 2 months old, so he stays in a baby wrap on me for drop ins and walks before 6pm and I either wear him or put him in the stroller for walks. But that depends on the dog and their comfortability. After 6pm dad is home and can watch little so I can be baby free! Dogs are still a very important part of my life.

Safety, trust & environment
All pets in my care will be cared for exactly how the paw-rents see fit! Being an equestrian I’m used to caring for multiple animals and them all having different needs and demands! I will play with your pet so they get plenty of mental and physical stimulation while you’re away to make it easier on them! Reactive dogs are welcome as long as we can be safely introduced and proper tools to keep everyone safe are available! My deaf dog is reactive, so I understand how hard it can be to trust them with another person.

Information Heather E. would like to know about your pet
Knowing any special needs is a must, but along with that knowing any quirks your dog might have is also important. Is your dog scared of anything? Are they okay with someone touching their collar or ears? Do they lose all impulse control when they see a dog friend or a squirrel? Of course any medications or special requests on how things are done is important too. My job would be to keep it as close to your schedule as possible so your pup is most comfortable!
A typical day
Walking a dog or throwing a ball over and over are great, but they only tire a pup out physically. For anxious and easily bored dogs this wouldn’t be enough, they need to be mentally stimulated as well. I have a couple of scent games that I do with my dogs at home that really getting their minds stimulated. The easiest would be to let them use their nose on a walk. Having a good solid heal is important, but letting a dog be a dog on a walk will make it a lot more enjoyable for them. I also like to take some of their dog food, and scatter it around in the grass for them to find. If your furry friend knows basic commands I’d be happy to put those to use while I’m there and do little short sessions.

Pet care experience
I’ve had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, snakes, lizards or anything that would come home with me. I currently have 3 dogs, one is a partially blind and completely deaf Aussie mix. And then I have a Catahoula mix and a shihtzu mix as well as a cat. I’ve trained them over the years I’ve had them while working a full time job and living alone. I’m extremely patient when comes to the higher energy dogs that usually frustrate people, and I’m used to working around special needs. Animals have always been my biggest passion, regardless of if they have fur or scales! I owned 2 horses over the last 10 years, and volunteered at the barn I had one of my horses boarded at, so I had to feed and tend to 15 horses on my days to feed. Regardless of what kind of pet you have furry or scaly, they will be taken care of as if you were still home doing it yourself!
