Taking care like they’re MY babies

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover. I am the person who pulls over to the side of the road when a stray animals is loose, and I keep a leash and dog treats in my trunk for this purpose. I have had numerous types of pets since I was born; a culmination of 5 dogs from Golden Retrievers to Yorkie’s, 4 cats, pet rats, rabbits, birds, etc.! In addition to being a volunteer at the SPCA as a teenager, I have also foster cared for numerous dogs in my home, so I understand how to gain a pets trust as a stranger. I have also taken care of and rehabilitated injured animals such as squirrels and birds in my neighborhood and was known as the future veterinarian on my block 😇 I was taught to treat your pets like your kids. Growing up, having multiple pets at one time had a very demanding schedule from morning to night. Some required medications and a strict/specific diet due to health issues. Some had an extremely unpredictable temper and had to be handled very cautiously and retrained/“re-loved”. I’ve taken care of puppies, seniors, blind/deaf dogs, injured dogs, anything that breathes and has a heart! I understand that these pets are more than animals to you and each one will require something different from me. Now having a 1 year old daughter I chose to wait until she is older to bring more pets into our home, but I would love to fill the void with your fur babies! I hope you will trust me with yours!🐾

I use Heather weekly to check-in on my dog. She is very responsive and always sends pics and updates during her visits. My dog is definitely happy to see her when she visits 🐶 🐾 so I know I won’t over worry about her while I’m at work.
