Pet care experience

Quick thinker, flexible, positive

I've taken care of three different types of medium and large dogs in my family as I've grown up. One was a German shepherd/husky mix, another was a terrier/Shih Tzu mix, and my current dog is a black Labrador retriever. I have come to understand just how much of a responsibility comes with being a dog owner ever since I was little, so I know it's not always just a walk in the park (pun intended). I am experienced with both senior dogs and puppies, and am extremely attentive in order to cater to their needs. Safety is always a priority to me as well as properly maintained communication between myself and any client/employer.

Schedule

I am available any day, as long as I am given at least a day's notice in advance. I am also a part-time online student during the spring semester, so I have a fairly flexible schedule for pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure my own dog has access to water and feed him on schedule everyday (getting up early is not an issue). I make sure to pay attention to whenever he needs to be let outside to do his business or if he needs to get some energy out. His exercise is also a priority whether that be walking, running, or playing fetch in a field. While on walks, I keep him on-leash unless in an enclosed public field for dogs and I carry poop bags with me at all times when I take my dog anywhere.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to play fetch at the park or playing tug-of-war with their toys. A fun at-home game my own dog and I like to play is hide-and-seek because I can easily reward my dog, which motivates him to think harder. I also maintain my fitness and can do walks throughout your neighborhood or nearby parks as long as needed.

I would like to know of any possible health issues/concerns your dog might have including diet, medications, etc. A brief description of your dog's typical behaviour would also be helpful, as well as things your dog does not like or may feel threatened by. I like to know as much as I can in advance if it helps me help your dog.
