Dog Lover Wanting to Help!
Pet care experience
Hello! I currently have a dog myself and am very confident with taking care of animals. I have also worked at a kennel that took care of 20 dogs at a time so I feel comfortable around multiple dogs at one time. I was responsible for giving medication to dogs, feeding dogs and cleaning out their kennels, so there is nothing that I really feel uncomfortable with doing to help. I have also helped family and friends with dog sitting for multiple years which included walking, taking them outside for potty breaks and play time, and making sure that they are entertained. I have always had a soft spot for animals and the idea of helping others makes me very happy. I hope you feel that I would be a good fit for you and your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment
I have worked with multiple dogs over the years in regards to going into homes and ensuring the safety of animals. I always read instructions left by the owner before handling the dog(s) and then start with our walk. I try to leave everything the way it was when I arrived, I.e., if the dog was in a crate, no toys in crate, leash is no where near crate, or any other specific directions left.
Information Ilene O. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how does your pet get along with other animals, how to approach them when first entering the home, medication that they need to take, any triggers to avoid on walks, etc.
A typical day
As someone who owns a German Sheperd mixed breed I understand that dogs not only need physical stimulation but also mental. I like to go on long walks, but also play games inside that requires them to use their brain so that they are tired by the time you get home!

Hi! I am a Kindergarten Teacher who is looking to help out during the summer while I am off! I have worked with animals for quite a few years. While living in Boston, I worked as a dog walker while attending school and I also have a dog of my own. I am available pretty much anytime during the week! I hope to hear from you soon!
