Eager to walk your dogs!
Pet care experience
I’m an avid animal lover with a passion for all critters big and small. I grew up with dogs, cats, and have worked with reptiles and horses although I don’t own any. :) I am trying to become a certified separation anxiety trainer, and have helped a lot of my family and friends teach basic obedience with their dogs, although my main job is computer science which I do full time from home 3 days weekly. I have a senior German shepherd who I adopted last year and she is not a big fan of walks, so I would absolutely love to walk your dog, since my dog would rather snooze! I’m also familiar with walking reactive dogs, so if your pup is a snarly loudmouth on walks, that won’t freak me out - I get it. Also familiar with giving meds. I can’t housesit at my home because my dog is a solo dog, but can possibly housesit at yours, and I can definitely do pop-in visits. :)
About Jo Yggdra K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know dogs are creatures of routines, so I will ask you a litany of questions about how to best care for your pet, your specific “commands” (my dog is partially deaf I think so I use really weird words that have sharp sounds she hears better), take some notes, and then follow through. :)
Information Jo Yggdra K. would like to know about your pet
Behavior - How does your dog walk on leash? Is it recall trained? Is it friendly with dogs/people/kids? Do you allow stranger greetings on walks? Medical concerns, emergency contact, any allergies? Any fears or quirks? Does it counter surf? To treat or not to treat? :)
A typical day
I think every dog has different interests, so I can go with the flow of what your dog loves! Treats, learning new things, sniffari walks, mental stimulation games, pets & pampering, etc.
