Experienced Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Heya, I have always loved animals and have had dogs since I was 10 and fish for pretty much my whole life. My first job was at a vet clinic kennel where I cared for cats, dogs, and a ferret. Further down the road I trained as a pet groomer before deciding to follow a different path. Currently I have meragerie of tropical freshwater fish, and frequently care for the family beagle Abbey. I am completely comfortable with a variety of animals and their care, from small mammals to lizards to cats to fish to dogs and amphibians. I used to care for a saltwater aquarium, poison dart frogs, and a cat for a neighbor and have pet sat for the family multiple times. I can administer oral meds, can help with basic puppy training(not your sole source of training but can keep up with training homework/work with them), bathe, express anal glands, and trim nails with a clipper as long as the dog is not agressive about the process. I love walking and playing with animals and am responsible about waste collection.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment near a variety of greenways and parks so if allowed I will likely take your pup out to one of those locations for a walk. If you dog is dog friendly and of smaller(under 40 pounds) size and if permissible they will walk with or play with the family dog Abbey. She is dog friendly and well behaved aside from the occasional bit of mischief as per her beagleness. I have a dog seatbelt in my car and your furry friend would be clipped in if we go anywhere for the walk. There is also a dog run in my apartment complex if needed. Generally though I would be coming to you and if not near a park or Greenway I will walk your pet around the neighborhood.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know their general temperament with both people and other dogs. If they have any medical conditions or behavioral quirks/issues please be upfront about them. I can handle reactive dogs as long as I know about it and what strategies you are using to curb/train it out.

A typical day

If I am pet sitting I will visit your dog at least twice a day for at least half an hour both times. On one visit they will get a walk of at least 20 minutes and on the other session(s) a play or cuddle session. Feeding, watering, medicating, and potty breaks will obviously take place then. If you wish me to stop by 4+ times daily or have visits longer than an hour daily I am happy to discuss things with you! I can also give your dog a bath/brush/nail trim at the end of the sitting period for an extra fee!

I am pretty flexible so am looking for mostly one time/occasional jobs. However I am happy to take weekly walking jobs if my availability with the new job allows it!
