Your Pup or Kitty’s New Best Friend

Animals have always been a part of my life since I was very little, I even remember pretending to ‘babysit’ our dog when I was 5 like I was their parent! And now as an adult my own dog Rainbow is as close to a son as I could have, and I love taking care of him. If you book me I will be there *for* your pet, to play with them, cuddle them, make sure they’re safe and fed, and have everything they need (as well as anything I can do for you as their owner to provide peace of mind). I love working with both people and animals, service is a core value of mine, and I would be honored to take care of your beloved dogs or cats. I love dogs and cats just as much as the other so I can work with anyone. :)

Schedule

Taking care of my dog Rainbow is a daily part of my life, walking him every day at our favorite parks for example. I love to make sure he has toys and when I leave for my part time job I always leave on ‘dog TV’ on Youtube for him. I currently work part time as a barista - but Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays I am always free. Any other day of the week just check in with me to see my availability. I am flexible to make sure everyone’s needs are met. 🤍

Safety, trust & environment

Pets communicate non-verbally, and I love being able to understand what they’re ‘saying’ by paying attention to body language and behavior. A lot of people tell me that I have a very calming presence/voice and animals seem to feel safe with me too. I never let my dog run without a lead or leash for his safety, and I try to get him nice treats and food made with real meats and good ingredients. I love caretaking and I’m always thinking of what I can do to make my dogs days happy and enjoyable.

Pets

A typical day

I like to take dogs I watch to some of my special nature spots around Anderson like the Rangeline Nature Preserve or Camp Chesterfield - both places are relatively private with many, many unique smells for the dogs to enjoy:) That’s like TV for them so I love getting my dogs a variety of sensory experiences. Lots of pets and cuddles for the dogs who have that kind of personality. More playtime and longer walks for my bright and active dogs.

Please let me know of any unique or specific needs your dog might have! If there are certain things, toys, activities, words that they love I would be happy to hear them. If they have any special needs during the day I can absolutely accommodate them.
