Anything the owner wants to share, I want to hear! Each animal is different and I want to care for each the best I possibly can! Especially important is any health concerns or specific health care required (allergies? medications? preferred vet in case of emergency?), whether they get along with others (can dogs go to the dog park?), and normal schedules (does your dog always expect food at a particular time?).

I love to take dogs out to dog parks if they get along with other pups. Dogs who enjoy playing will certainly have fun with me, and high-energy pets can come on runs and bike-rides. During the summer I also enjoy hiking, although I tend to not go far out in the Fairbanks winter. I also love cats! I will let cats warm up to me at their own pace and enjoy their company. Depending on their individual personality, they too will get the attention they require. I am experienced riding horses, so equine owners may also request daily exercise for their pets. If you would be more comfortable with only walking, I can do that too! Cute and fuzzies / scalies get attention too! For pets that aren't too shy they will certainly get lots of love and attention (I am not scared or grossed out by any living thing). I can take care of small caged animals in their own environment or care for them in my home, as these pets are allowed at the apartment I stay at. I am very flexible, and want to treat each pet the best I possibly can, so I am wide open to owner suggestions, perhaps a favorite walking route or play-dates!
