Regardless of the environment, or animal, cat or dog, I will always aim to make sure they are comfortable, fed and given affection. I'd walk and clean up after them if and when needed to. My house is always clean, and should I be at a client's house, I will make sure it looks exactly the same as it did when I arrived (better if possible)

Information Ian H. would like to know about your pet

-dietary needs/restrictions -information on if the pet is neutered -boundaries (ie: do they like being around other people/pets? Can they only eat or use the bathroom if watches or not etc) -health/medical issues

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do, is with either the toys I bring or toys readily available, I play with them, but I dont just shake the toy around, I like showing them I'm also excited so they get more energy out, and it adds to their mood. I also will sometimes look out the windows with them, and always just try to be involved with whatever theyre doing, but also giving them space whenever they need it. Walks would be plentiful, and treats would be rewarded for things like using the bathroom outside, or walking a set amount. I take pride in both wanting to have fun with these animals, but also making sure they get the nourishment they need.

Animal lover and enthusiast

Pet care experience

I've always loved being around animals. For the past 2-3 years give or take, I would help out and take care of my family and friends pets whenever they would be was away. Dogs, Cats, even Guinea pigs. It's something that I love doing, and I love to hang out with them and care for them :) It's what made me realize I wanted to do this more. I feel I can resonate with their energy, and get along with them very well. I also grew up having a dog, and though hes no longer with me I always love being around animals regardless.

I recommend Ian! He took very good care of my cats. He cares. While I was gone, he would call me and express concern if he suspected something was wrong. He was there on time every day for weeks, and always sent me pictures and updates. He even did the cutest drawing of my cat Winston and taped it onto the kitchen cabinet, which I appreciated. I will definitely call on him again to take care of my cats.
