I have been a pet owner since I was child to present. Throughout my years of personal fur family, I have had a total of 5 dogs and 4 cats. I have grown and matured with 3 puppies, all of mixed breeds. One of my adopted dogs was a special needs Pit-bull, who received a daily medication schedule that I routinely helped with (for her separation anxiety and other medical ailments). I also had to sadly wish a fair-well to one of my senior pups a few years back, but this taught me the value in consciously making considerations to make any other seniors’ later years in doghood the best that we can make it. I am comfortable with most pets, whether big or small, youthful or mature, and anywhere between the highly energetic or mostly “chill”. Also, I don’t believe in the phrase “aggressive breeds”; so I do not/will not turn down an opportunity for companionship work with ANY pet based on their breed alone. Professional Positions: •Drop-In experiences: *Chihuahua pup (Routinely visited everyday over the summertime): Gus *Miniature Pincher pup (Focused puppy care): Marvin •House-sitting experiences: *2 Pups (Mixed) and a Cat (Grey Tabby) for about a Week- Grady, Parker, and Bear *1 Pup For a Full Week (Chihuahua)-Blue *1 Pup for a Full Week (Labrador Retriever)-Zach *My personal dogs- Grace, Jack, Koda, & Riley (at varying weekly blocks of time, on an as needed basis) Volunteer Work: •I have extensive Volunteer experience from my time as a dog walker and animal companion at the MDSPCA, and both walked dogs and bonded with cats who came from many different “walks of life”, of varying different breeds. Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Descriptions: -Dog Walking/“Pets-ercise”: I enjoy keeping myself healthy alongside your “fur children”, so just inform me what distance you would like for them to walk (or even run) with me, and I will be happy to oblige your preference. Also, (if you know of any local parks they enjoy going to with any of their dog friends) I would be glad to take them on excursions there too; to allow for some extra exercise and play-time in on our scheduled walks! -Dog/Cat Sitting: I will keep up promptly with preferred feeding schedules, always make sure their water bowls are filled, and have frequent play and bonding times with each of your furry family members. Alongside maintaining your household cleanliness standards while you are away, and also providing any necessary medications they may need (ONLY upon your request and specified guidance).
