Pet care experience

Downtown Long Beach Pet Mom

Life-long animal lover and vegetarian. I have had every type of pet you can imagine: rats, turtles, snakes, and of course cats and dogs. My daughters and I currently have 4 cats, one small dog, and a leopard gecko. I live in downtown Long Beach right next to a very nice park. If your dog stays with me, I can take him or her to the park every day. My dog Bear is very sweet and friendly. He is neutered and current on his shots. I have a large crate so you don’t have to bring yours. Our cats can be kept in a separate bedroom from dogs if necessary.

Heather takes great care of our cat! She is very communicative and sends photos with every visit. It's freaky to give your home key to a stranger but Heather is someone you can trust!

Schedule

I am currently working part time from home. So I am at home all day with a very flexible schedule. Plenty of time to take the dogs out for walks as often as necessary.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard but I do have an enclosed balcony if your dog would like to utilize that. My dog does not use the balcony/patio for potty breaks, so I take him out for walks every few hours.

Pets

A typical day

We can go to the dog park (with your permission), or take long walks around the park and neighborhood. I can brush or bathe your dog upon request. Most of all, I will give them lots of love and snuggles!
