E.R. Vet Tech. Over 12 years exp.

Pet care experience

I have had animals in my life since the day I was born. I have had many cats, dogs and also exotics including: snakes, parrots, sugar glider, tarantulas, scorpion, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, fish, ferret, and other small birds. Animals have been the soul purpose of my life and I feel it is our duty as human beings, the most intelligent species on this planet, to protect and give animals care as if we were their guardians. I have over 11 years Veterinary care experience, so your animals health and safety will be top priority. Most of which was with Emergency Medicine. I am an expert on animal behavior, and know how to communicate non-verbally with almost any species. Animals are the worlds ecosystem, so we must preserve that. Giving the best possible care to your animal is 100% top priority to me, and I will treat them as if they were my own. I have done lots of volunteer work at local shelters because the psychological need for an animal to feel loved is very important to me. They are just as sentient of beings as you and I, and a lot of people seem to forget that. So I am offering my services to anyone who wants their animal treated with love, care and respect. Keep in mind that I am willing to take care of more than just dogs. I am willing to take care of any animal you have, just provide me with the correct instructions so everything can go smoothly. HOUSE SITTING - I will require you to schedule any house sitting in advance so I can make sure my schedule is clear for those evenings. I am willing to go to your house and keep it secure and protected all night. Or if you prefer just drop in visits all day with walks for the dogs. I will follow any and all instructions given by you. If there are any places in the house you will not like me to go I will follow any rules you lay down. I am a very honest and trustworthy person who believes strongly in good karma. I have a rock solid set of morals so there is no question on my integrity in your home. Your house will be left as if no one had ever been there. I will provide my own food, unless told by you the owner otherwise. Just be very open with me when I am watching your house because I want it to be the most comfortable experience for you. DOG WALKING - I will provide dog walking anytime so long as it does not conflict with any of my other services offered here. I am an excellent dog walker and have been told by many that I am a master of the leash. I will walk any dog with any personality or size. I do not discriminate any dog because of breed or temperament. Animals have always loved me and can sense in me, my truly good intentions for them. I have been a certified dog walker so your animals safety while on our walk is no issue. I have walk over 100 dogs with Wag with 100% five star rating. I carry a back pack for any doggie essentials during our walks including water. Any questions about this sections do not hesitate to ask. CONCLUDING, I have opened my heart and skills to the public to provide excillent service to any and everyone needing a house sitter, or part time/ full time dog walker. Kennels and professional dogie day cares do not offer the same services as an actual pet owner and lover does. People who are paid by the hour to work, act like they are and will do the bare minimal to get by. But someone doing something out of passion will show completely different results in your animals happiness and behavior. Kennels are full of fear and anxiety for your animal with foreign people, smells and other animals while they are trapped in a small box. There is no reason anyone should ever board their animal in a cage when people are willing to open their homes and allow them freedom and love. Plus owners of kennels always over book animals out of greed so a lot of services you pay for while your animal is staying there do not actually get done. I used to work at kennels so I would know. They are always under staffed and over booked leaving the workers not enough time to care for the animals properly. Some "annoying" animals are left to be in their own urine and feces all day. Then given a nice bath right before the owner shows up. Also like I said professional dogie day care centers are hourly based employees. So never expect your dog to be treated the way they promise they will be treated. Please consider me to be a care taker of your animal, cause I have put a lot of time and effort making sure their experience with me is the best they can possibly have. If you have any questions at all please contact me. I want to answer all your questions so you feel as comfortable as possible. Always remember my number one priority is animal safety and customer satisfaction. I am doing this not for the money. But for my sincere love for animals, and the pain I have seen them go through with out proper care.

Information Kenneth W. would like to know about your pet

Their behavior habits, and personality. Their age and breed. What toys they like to play with. If they like to interact with other animals or are better alone. Do they prefer outside or inside. What kind of treats they like. I have no preference to breed. All dogs can be great if taken care of properly. To discriminate against a certain breed would be the same as a human being racist.

A typical day

Lots of local parks for dogs who go with me. Lots of toys for cats to play with. Plenty of space for any caged companions. I will ask each owner what their animal likes, and cater to those needs. I have many fun activitys for animals of all kinds if they were to stay with me. Keeping them happy and interactive is my main goal.
