I have worked and spent time on a farm since I was 6 years old. When my family got our dog and I spent much of my time training her and teaching her simple tricks. I would dog-sit, cat-sit, and horse-sit for my neighbors and friends. My whole life has been managed around proving the best quality and care for my own animals as well as other people's animals. For the majority of my life, my pet care was my daily routine. I would take care of my horse every day and come home to spend time with my dog. Proving the best quality of life to my animals and others is the most important aspect to me of caring for an animal. Much of my time is spent outside so I love to bring my pets with me outside and to expose them to the most abundant lifestyle. As well, many of my animals are getting older so I make sure to incorporate lots of time just loving on them and giving them a relaxing trusting space to be in with me. I always make sure to provide fresh water, food (healthy and nourishing), outside time, a clean coat and face, clean teeth, nails, ears, and a safe environment to live in. There is always a comfortable place for my pets to sleep, relax, or to sit with their owner when it is time for "chill time." I also make sure if my animals are outside or around the house that there is nothing they could get themselves in to endanger themselves such as cords, stairs, clothing, etc. At a clients home or home of a friend whose animal I am caring for I make sure to always clean the space the animals is living in and make sure everything looks comfortable and safe. I refill food and water regularly and try to give their pets something they might not get everyday. This may be a different type of stimulating exercise, new toys, or even just extra attention in forms of sleep, cleaning them, and giving them my undivided attention.
