My animals are my kids 💕

Pet care experience

I took care of many animals from a very young age. I included my personal experience as when I got my first full time dog at 9 years old but I had many animals from ducks to donkeys to fish as young as 6 years old. I studied veterinary medicine for 5 years, but I did not complete my degree. I have lots of experience grooming and do have some of my own grooming equipment. I have experience with supplements, medications, and at home injections as well. I have a good bit of experience with training as all animals I have currently and even previous animals have been trained solely by me or with very small advice from others. I am all for making sure that any animal in my care has a full, happy, and healthy life.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in backyard, I am able to give them lots of outside time and also have my living room set up for everyone to play. I have personal dogs that do get along with others that I can allow your baby to play with if you’re wanting them to have some socializing. I am able to adapt to many needs and am extremely flexible with any care that is wanted.

Information Kathryn P. would like to know about your pet

I would just need to know of any allergies, behavioral issues, and if/when they receive medications. I have managed all types of these things as most of my personal dogs have allergies and I have dealt heavily with behavioral issues and managed them. I currently have 2 dogs who are on an at home injection medication.

A typical day

I love using puzzle toys for Mental Stimulation, along with walks to enjoy new smells around they also get lots of of time running around and playing with toys in the backyard as well.

Availability

I work at a local holistic pet store, where I work 6-7 hours a day, 5 days a week. Your baby when in my care will be left alone while I work, and I will be home the rest of the time! With having experience with many animals from as young as a few days old I have the ability to bottle feed and give all means of care including letting them outside as short as every 30 minutes, while I am not at work.
