Experienced With Every Animal Type

Pet care experience

I have a wide variety of pet care experience! My mother is deaf and has had a service dog (small) for a few years now that I regularly take care of, and before that we have had a variety of large and small dogs including a husky mix and a german shepard that both required specialized attention. I am equipped with basic discipline concepts from training classes and working at a Petco that allowed me to shadow the dog training classes, though I am hopeful that you and I can discover what I can help with in regards to reinforcing your training! I have been surrounded by cats and their care, having two little ones running around my place, and have specialized experience with little critters like amphibians, reptiles and small mammals. I am also experienced in learning about animals as I had the privilege of becoming the aquatic specialist, at the same Petco mentioned above, at age 21. I am a gentle, patient and slow moving person. I used to run cross-country, and am not shy about being able to run dogs! I have been entirely plant based for the past 5 years, and, as a fun fact: street cats almost always seem to approach me for attention. :)

Henry was wonderful around my Simi! Simi is the kind of small, nervous dog that gets zoomies after walks, every walk, since she was born. These two walks with Henry - no zoomies for the first time ever! She was actually worn out! I asked Henry to focus on energy consumption but I tell everyone that, and never hold the zoomies against them. I just couldn't believe that she didn't have any after these walks! Henry was booked for a two walk set because I wanted to try Rover out. What an excellent emissary! Henry was prompt both coming and going, put the leash away and made sure I didn't need anything else. I'm recovering from surgery and this attention to detail and comfort was much-appreciated! Henry kept excellent track of Simi's progress along the walk, including pictures, which I love! I highly recommend Henry for your pup.

I am a former Rover walker and Henry is made for this job. They love animals and are excellent with them. Henry is one of the most patient and responsible people I know. When they need something done, it gets done. But they also have a lot of love and they have no reservations about showing that love to the people and pets around them. Henry is very knowledgable about training dogs and proper behavior around dogs in general. They are definitely someone who can be trusted with even the most nervous pets.

Henry cared for my two cats while I was on a spontaneous trip. He was timely and caring, and went above and beyond the requested care tasks to ensure that the kitties were comfortable during my absence. For example, he scooped an additional litterbox without being asked. He also sent regular photos and updates of the cats, asking thoughtful questions about their behaviors, reassuring me without overwhelming me with information while traveling. He spent time playing and getting to know the cats in addition to feeding them, and they seemed very comfortable around him. I’ll ask him first every time I’m away from my cats!

I am very active and have worked in stock my whole professional career. This makes me more suited to being able to handle rowdier dogs, specifically physically rowdy ones. I live in an apartment so I cannot board any creatures, but am comfortable sitting overnight anywhere to help with anxious pets. I am physically able to comfortably carry up to 200 pounds, and have experience feeding different kinds of pets a wide variety of special needs diets. I am not a veterinarian, and can give no advice! However, I do have some basic experience in the different types of toys, commercial medications and food types available to cats and dogs from previous work experience.

Information Henry V. would like to know about your pet

I am pretty comfortable with most typical pets! I'd love to know about your pups personality so I can plan the best outing with them, that would be great. If they have any favorite spots around, favorite toys, special needs or intolerances I would love to know about it! Also, if there are any basic training things you are trying to reinforce please let me know in advance.

A typical day

I love spending time outside with pets! Exploring, playing , running. I am comfortable running high energy dogs and very patient less energetic pooches. I am a very playful person naturally, especially with animals.

I am currently working part-time at a cinema but would love to make pet care my primary work if the opportunity arose. I used to be a long distance runner so am perfect for those extra rowdy dogs! My work schedule is flexible so I can be available almost any day with some pre-planning!
