When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding according to the owner's instructions. I also make sure pets receive lots of affection and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who are still learning routines and anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. Because I have raised two puppies and have an anxious dog of my own, I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and individualized care. Communication is extremely important to me. I value keeping owners updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I want pet parents to feel confident that their dog is receiving excellent care. I always follow the owner's preferences and instructions, and I make sure any decisions regarding their pet are discussed with them whenever possible. My goal is to work as a team with each owner to ensure every choice is in the best interest of their pup's health, happiness, and well-being.
