Pet care experience

Current Dog Lover & Caregiver

For the past 3 years, I have been a primary dog-sitter for my partners parents dogs who travel up to 2 months at a time. Prior to that I had a pup and cat growing up that I cared for into old age. I have experience with: 1. daily care (i.e. walks, meal time, love&attention) 2. speciality care (home-cooked food, paw creams, ear drops) 3. grooming (baths, brushing, and trimming fur) 4. Cleaning liter box & cleaning up after dogs

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for all pets in my care as my own. I take the time to understand their ways of communicating, to learn their routine and habits. I understand signs of distress or anxiety and know how to avoid them or help minimize them.

Ren helped us out last minute and was excellent with taking care of our dog Sadie for a midday walk. Looking forward to working with her again! Easy to communicate, punctual and reliable.

Schedule

I currently tutor online part-time, usually in one hour increments. I also go for a walk every morning and evening for my health. Both of these allow me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily life.

Please make me aware of any special care your pet needs. I’d also love to know if there is anything you do specifically that your pet likes or anything you avoid doing so that they can feel comfortable in my care.
