Your Pet’s Newest Bestie!!

Pet care experience

I was an addition to an existing pet family! My parents owned a cat. So my first cat and I started bonding in the womb as she played on my mother’s pregnant belly. Then at 4, my parents got me my childhood dog. That is how my dad showed me how to train dogs. We also taught him tricks. I have some basic experience with horse care because I went to horse camp as a child. I also hatched wild lizards, which I am including to prove that I am not afraid of a variety of animals. In high school, I volunteered at animal shelters. Where I did any task that was needed. Such as walking the dogs, cleaning the dog kennels, and entertaining the dogs or cats. Finally, I’ve watched my friends and family’s pets while they have gone on vacation. I am their first choice. An interesting part of my history is I come from generations of farmers and ranchers on my dad’s side. He grew up on a farm, and out of his siblings, he was the best at training the dogs and horses. I learned how to ride a horse during our visits to my grandma's ranch. Also, I believe my family history contributes to my natural ability to understand and be observant of animal behavior. I’ve always understood animals more than humans. I have the patience to gain trust with them. I am here to provide basic pet care services. Such as walking, feeding, entertaining, exercising, etc. I am detail-oriented and good at following specific instructions. For any additional needs, I might need to provide.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment does not allow pets. I cannot host any animals, am willing to go to any location I may need to for your pets. And will accommodate your preferences.

Information Lorena C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any behavioral specifics I need to look out for - safety wise. Examples, They have a tendency to “escape” and break loose. If they don’t like certain animals / kids (they might bark more at them). Also daily routine specifics such as if they have a food schedule, allergies, any medical symptoms or conditions I should watch for. Anything you feel is important for me to remember.

A typical day

Before I watch your pet I will probably ask you what specific activities, toys, or places your dog loves. What a typical day is like for them. And then I will try to make sure I incorporate those things in the day. That way they will feel more comfortable knowing that they can still feel a sense of familiarity. And not notice your absence negatively! I can access high amounts of energy if you have a dog that has more energy or is active. I enjoy playing with dogs outside as much as I do inside. So either way I will be having as much of a blast as your dog is!
