*My holiday calendar is filling up fast! I’m leaving all holidays open for requests for walks and drop ins, but if you’re needing full overnight service please message sooner rather than later!* A best friend to all critters, big or small, furry or scaly, old or young. My promise to you is that I always care for your pets as if they were my own. You can rest easy while away knowing that I’m extremely protective, loving, and mindful of your pet and their individual needs. I have a life’s worth of experience caring for pets of all kinds — dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, pigs… even a baby squirrel at one point. Personally, I have two senior pets (a 14 year old teacup chihuahua named Iowa and a 12 year old russian blue named Pounce) and they’re basically my whole heart. I’ve had them both since they were babies and they fill my days with love and laughs. In turn I spoil them rotten, lol. I’ve been caring for pets of all ages and breeds professionally for 12 years. I have a ton of experience with seniors, including administering medicine and specialized feeding schedules. On the opposite end, I also have a lot of experience caring for puppies/younger dogs and am very comfortable continuing to implement any training you’re working with them on, and helping them get that puppy energy out with fun playtime sessions. Shy or anxious animals tend to be at ease with me. Probably a combination of my size (I am very small, lol) and my gentle demeanor. I’m happy to give any pets the space they need to become comfortable with me. I currently walk several different dogs who have had negative experiences with other dogs, and thus are dog-reactive - so I’m also totally comfortable with your pets if they have sensitivities. I keep a firm but gentle hand and a watchful eye to make sure they feel safe and happy on their time out. I’d love to sit or walk for you, and always reply to requests very promptly. if you need a loving best friend for your best fur friend, book me and we can set up a meet and greet! Feel free to follow my work instagram; if I walk or sit your baby, they’ll definitely end up making an appearance on there! @pdxpetbff
