Safety, trust & environment

In college, me and my roommates fostered dogs at the local animal shelter which taught me a lot about dog safety. Learning their ques was a big one that I can now say I understand. Currently, I do not offer in home pet care as I have two fur babies myself that do not get along with other animals.

Information Imani M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special characteristics about your pet that may be important! For example, their likes and dislikes. It would help create smoother interaction especially since I would be coming in as someone that they do not know.

A typical day

While I do enjoy staying in clients neighborhoods, walking at the park is always fun. All of the new smells can help stimulate dogs mentally. If doing a drop in visit with a client, then I try to give lots of pets and play with them in the backyard (if they have one) before feeding and leaving for the day.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from a very young age. Both friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed them. For a walk I would typically stay in your neighborhood as that is where your puppy would be familiar. But, i am always open to your suggestions for specific parks, etc. I always keep extras of anything we might need like dog waste bags and toys!

Imani is a fantastic sitter! Communication and photos were excellent. She was also prompt and considerate, even taking time to brush our kitty who loves that. We would definitely recommend Imani.

Thank you for helping out with Milo. He needs a lot of guidance. He’s a puppy and everything is new to him. He's definitely in his exploring phase and I appreciate your patience as well as helping with leash training.
