Bundle of Joy Dog Walking

Pet care experience

I have lived with cats and dogs all my life. My knowledge of pet care comes from caring for my own dgos and cats throughout my life, listening to my Mom teach me about her experience raising German shepherd puppies, and working in the dog kennels, and later when my Mom got a service dog, I attended dog obedience training with my Mom and her dog. Pet sitting began I was about 12. I fed the cats and scooped out the cat box. I also spent time at the house with the cats to make sure they felt loved and safe. Then my other neighbor asked me to watch their cat while they were gone, and I had two regular cat sitting jobs. My cat and dog sitting experience really expanded in college and after college. I have cared for dogs from chihuahuas up to Great Danes. Usual duties for me include feeding/watering, cleaning out cat boxes/ or picking up dog poop, sometimes walking dogs, playing fetch with dogs, and playing with cats or just snuggling them. My number one priority in caring for your pets, is to make sure they are safe and that they feel loved. I treat my pets and those I care for as if they are my own children.

Heather has cared for my aging dog for several years, including about 10 days in Nov '21 when she actually was doing housesitting while I was out not state. Smokey has grown more anxious about being left alone, so needed more full-time company. She ably juggled her school job (with 2 of my neighbors taking him for walks while she was in school), and Smokey actually seemed to thrive with all the attention. It was also good having a responsible person taking care of my house. I have no reservations in recommending as a dog caregiver.

Heather has provided care for our pet several times in the past year. She is reliable, communicates well, shows affection for our fur baby, is trustworthy, and is a genuinely nice person. Heather would be an asset to your organization.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow all the rules that are set by the owners. If I want to take your dog to the park or for a hike, I never do that without asking permission from the owner, and also not until your dog and I have established an excellent relationship. I am an honest and respectful person, and I don't do anything in your house that I wouldn't want other people doing in my house. Most of all, I care for your pets by just being loving, honest, kind and gentle.

Information Heather G. would like to know about your pet

1. Is the dog trained? just leash trained or has the dog been through obedience school? 2. What commands does the dog know? 3. Is your dog social? how does he/she interact with other dogs? 4. How does your dog do with children? Cats? birds? is your dog a chaser? 5. What does your dog like to do? How long of walks does he/she like? 6. What are your favorite qualities about your dog?

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs, and I always Carry a ball launcher with me whenever I am dog sitting or dog walking. I also enjoy taking dogs for hikes. These dogs must be very well trained and have experience hiking with their owner. I like to hike trails like the Icicle Gorge trail and others up in Leavenworth. In general my favorite place to walk is the Apple Capitol Bike Loop, and I absolutely love going through the bird sanctuary.

I am currently a college student and while I will be busy with my studies, I need to get out for exercise (just like your pets do!) and would love to walk you dog after my classes. Playing with dogs is a great homework reset break!
