Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space.

Safety, trust & environment

Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

Information Lou James "LJ" S. would like to know about your pet

Key words that cue your dog as well as any triggers like hats, gloves, bicycles, etc. I know my gal has her special treats and toys that REALLY grab her attention so any proven redirection tools like that for supporting your animals are great to know.

A typical day

I enjoy open space to let my gal roam so we spend a lot of time in off leash parks and on trails. Time on leash is spent at the local parks and walking the familiar routes of the neighborhood smelling the "pee newspaper". Sharkbait loves a soft teddy bear or puzzle toy filled with kibbles and treats.

Pets

Domestic and exotic animal lover!

Pet care experience

At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background!

Zoey always has such a great time and is always super excited when she sees Louise. Thanks so much for walking her in the rain and on short notice!

Louise has been watching my German Shepard for many years when I go out of town and they are peas in a pod! They always make sure my Ruby is safe and calm before they leave and fills me in after each visit. Even when Ruby got off the leash at the park and went for a walk about they handled it so well and were able to recall her and bring her back safe!

Louise is very caring of their dog and has a good bond with animals. They understand that each dog has its own personality and needs and is willing to accommodate that. They take their dog out frequently and value good health and exercise.
