Pet care experience

I'll love them like they are my own

I started taking care of animals when I was fourteen. It started with the neighborhood strays. Then moved to friends dogs. I have also worked with horses, reptiles, and many small mammals like Bunnies and guinea pigs. I have experience with reactive pets and do amazing handling them appropriately. I have experience with senior pets as well. I also have experience when it comes to basic grooming. Such as, bathing, deshedding, nail trimming and more. I do also have experience give medication. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would ask if there is a routine their animal(s) may be used to such as specific times for walks or feeding and follow through with that and fill in the rest of the time with play time and pets/cuddles.

Kayla was communicative and informative throughout my time away. I appreciated it because it allowed me to rest assured he was being properly cared for and was in very capable hands. I wish look forward to Kayla caring for Balthazar (who is very stubborn) again.

Kayla did a great job with my older dog, keeping her happy and well-looked after for the week I was gone.She was great with sending me updates and pictures. When she had something come up at the very end of the week, she let me know and make sure that my dog had someone to watch her for the last 24 hours.

I am typically in college most of the year. I do take jobs during so. I live in the DuPont circle area so it is realtivley easy for me to get to most places for a gig. I am kind, organized, and go above and beyond when I watch other people fur babies. I send more than enough pictures and videos. I also communicate exceptionally well with the pet parents.

If they have any behavior issues that I should watch out for when taking them out. Or anything they are scared of or have trauma from.
