Dogs and cats are kinda my thing ;)
Pet care experience
I have had dogs and cats all of my life, most of which are special needs/ hospice. This has made me extremely comfortable with things like administering medication and adhering to strict feeding schedules. I am also extremely observant of health and behavioral needs. In addition, I volunteered as a dog walker at my local animal shelter for three years until I began working there as an Animal Care Shift Supervisor (for two years). Relevant duties included dog/ cat husbandry (I am no stranger to poop!), feedings, administering medications, assisting with medical evaluations, basic obedience, walking dogs of all sizes/ behaviors, and providing enrichment for all animals several times a day. Also, we would have about twenty puppies at any given time, so I am prepared and willing to take care of the little ones. Having worked in a shelter environment, I have interacted with dogs of all sizes/ages/breeds, and have experience with behaviors such as guarding, food aggression, “stranger danger”, and leash/ dog reactivity. I am very comfortable with all breeds, and have seen the best in all of them. :)
Reviews
Lois is the absolute best! Would recommend her to anyone. She does such a great job caring for my fur baby and gives me such peace of mind while we are away.
Hands down, the best sitter we’ve ever had! (:
Lois was great with my cat, Walter. Highly recommend her for your pet.
Lois was wonderful taking care of my two Rotties on a drop-in visit! She bonded instantly with my "girls" during the Meet & Greet and made sure they ate their lunch according to my instructions. I appreciated her flexibility with my schedule and loved the Rover cards, including the photos! I would definitely hire Lois again ... she's a very sweet, responsible young lady and my doggies really liked her!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment complex that only allows a certain number of pets, so unfortunately I cannot provide home services at this time. :(
Information Lois W. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but I would love to know specific feeding habits to provide them the best experience possible. In addition, any medical or behavioral issues past or present would be very helpful. Thank you! :)
A typical day
Walks on park trails throughout Wilmington, and the dog park (if your baby would allow!). If they are into snuggles a lot of snuggles will happen. Also, I do make lots of coffee trips... so a puppacino is also a possibility (if there are no dietary issues!).

Availability
As a recent graduate working part time, my schedule is pretty open! (plenty of space for extra 🐈 and 🐕 time!) I update my Rover schedule frequently, so everything is usually up to speed. Drop a line and we can talk! :)
