All Pets Welcome! 🐈🐔🐰🐶

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve been watching people’s furry loved ones and walking dogs for over ten years now and fostered both cats and dogs for the past six years. I love all animals! I love meeting new animals and taking care of the not so common kinds ( turtles, fish, snakes, chickens, horses etc) I’m a quick learner and enjoy helping accommodate your pets so they feel at ease and get their daily needs met. I have experience giving topical and oral medication to both cats and dogs. I’m very accepting of different temperaments and personalities. I respect each pet’s sense of comfort and space and treat each one like they’re my own!

Journey is amazing! Our pit Bailey absolutely loves her. She great at communicating with us about baileys walks and was super accommodating with baileys needs. Journey also did some overnights and watched Bailey when we traveled. We knew Bailey was safe and having a great time. Journey kept us updated and easy to communicate with :) would def recommend to anyone looks for a new walker/friend for your fur baby

Journey was amazing. Constant updates and we didn’t worry about the dogs at all. One of our pups broke a nail while we were gone and she took her to the vet and handled everything seamlessly! Cannot recommend enough!

Journey is very good with watching my 3 dogs while we were gone for a week. She also always takes very good care of my house as well as makes she communicates with me everyday and sends pictures of my fur babies. I will definitely be using journey again for any of my fur baby needs

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that each pet has their own boundaries and ways of living. I strive to replicate the love and devotion each owner gives their pet when I’m with them. I’m attention detailed so I prefer knowing as much as I can about your pet to give them what they need as well as be aware of any changes in their mood and health especially with those who are of older ages and require more accommodations. With my professional and personal pet care experience, I have taken care of many different types of animals, breeds, sizes and health conditions. I am familiar with many medical conditions, medications and supplements for small animals/rodents, cats and dogs. I have worked with animals of different temperaments. I am especially understanding of pets that tend to be reserved, anxious, and/or highly energetic. I make every effort to respect their boundaries and not push them out of their comfort zones. I prioritize building trust and maintaining a sense of comfortability with each pet.

A typical day

I love going on hikes and walks and would be happy to take your dogs with me during longer stays (with your permission). I’m open to learning any new fun games you may play with your pet to keep them entertained while you’re away.
