Pet care experience

Dietitian and Animal-lover

I have always had pets growing up, I got my first cat when I was eight years old and from there our pet-family continued to grow. I also have experience caring for our beloved family dog for about ten years, and have experience babysitting (overnight) and walking dogs of family/friends. As I now live in an apartment and can sadly cannot own pet at this time, I would love the opportunity to continue to care for and spend time with animals.

Petey immediately liked Hope and was very happy to walk with her. She is very personable and his first walk with Hope was a success. I will definitely reach out to her for future walks. 😊

Very smooth interaction with setting up my first walk Hope. And she walked me through some of the steps on the Rover app to get all set up. Definitely recommend Hope and will be reaching out to her again!

Schedule

I am currently working full-time, and would love the opportunity to spend time with pets either before work (I leave around 6:30am) or after work (I am home around 4pm). I am available most weekends, and would love to spend time on the weekends caring for pets as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of experience walking and playing with dogs, and would be able to do so in the local neighborhood or in a clients yard. I am also experienced in pet-sitting, and if invited into the home of a client, would leave everything just the way that I found it. I treat pets with the utmost respect and love, and would care for a client’s pet as I would care for a pet of my own.

Pets

A typical day

When I am spending time with dogs, I love to make them feel like they are loved and appreciated. I think that it is very important that dogs get the proper exercise they need, and as an active individual myself, I feel confident that I can provide this service. As a resident of Belmar for close to three years, I am very familiar with the neighborhood and safe streets/routes to take a dog on.

I think that it is important to know a dogs preferences before taking them for a walk. For example, it would be important for me to know how long/far they typically walk, if there are certain places they don’t like to go or don’t feel safe, and if they feel comfortable around other dogs and people. I would take into consideration all preferences before embarking on a walk.
