I'm The Purrfect Pal

Pet care experience

I have 1 dog of my own. I have tons of time to do drop ins or take dogs for walks. I've been taking care of animals since i was 12. I love them with a passion. I'm available most of everyday.

Hope does a great job with my diabetic cat who needs insulin twice a day. He can be a grouch about it but she can make it happen!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer care in my home. I consider drop ins and walks to essentially be the same thing. The main difference is for drop ins I administer meds and feed and water the pet. No matter what I check to see if the pet has water before I leave. If it's a drop in I walk the pet then feed and water and administer any meds needed. For the rest of the stay I give the pet loves until the end of the stay. For a walk I try to walk the pet for at least 20 of the 30 minutes. The other 10 I play by ear based on the pet. I like to bring the pet home 5 minutes early to make sure the pet gets water and isn't over exhausted or worn out before I leave.

Information Hope S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors I can help with or need to look out for. Examples: chewing up items that aren't toys, nips at children, eats out the trash, etc

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pets physically and mentally. Once I have visited enough times I can usually tell when your pet is tired/hyper/etc. I can usually tell their favorite toy of the day. I personally like to go in zig zags in neighborhoods. So I go 2-3 streets down and go up and down every street until the time is up.
