Above and beyond - Dog mom !

HI friends! I’m back taking new clients! I have moved and upgraded into a 2 story home with a backyard! I’m ready for the holidays for when you’re out of town. I love being around animals, especially dogs. I started raising baby bunnies to working at a dog groomers as a receptionist. I know majority breeds and their energy levels. I’ve taken care of family friends dogs and have had 2 dogs in my life I care deeply about. I have a cocker spaniel that’s 5 years old so I’m comfortable with young energy and understand the level of attention they need. I also have a cat that is good with other dogs. I’ve given my dog medicine so I know how to sneak it in pups food. I have experience sitting senior dogs, I can manage to give them oral medication. I have experience with large dogs so if they pull I can handle a little rough play.

Kathleen was great with all three of my pets. She was reliable and kept me updated every visit with good pics and notes. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. Came home to relaxed pups and a content kitty, couldn’t ask for more.

Schedule

I currently work in office Mon-Fri (9-5). I take my dog out every morning for a walk at 7AM and right when I get home at 5PM. Then again after dinner at 8PM and before bed no later then 11PM. These potty breaks are at least a 25 Min walk in my community or out in the back yard for playtime. During the weekend I take my dog to other public dog parks and walking trails. I have double leashes so your furry friend can join us.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in home and prefer them to be potty trained outside or on pee pad. My home environment is cozy and we (me and my cat & dog) love snuggles and play time. I have a backyard for all ages, weight and size of dogs. While I’m at work I’m able to put my pup in a crate to keep them separated for a few hours.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take my dog along with your dog on walking trail dates and play outside at the park located in my community across the street from my house. As well as, play with my cat and her toys.
