The Best Care for the Best Pet(s)
Pet care experience
I absolutely love animals and would love to take care of yours. I can take care of the biggest dog down to the tiniest fish. Just give me the instructions and I'll follow it to a T! Any health concerns will be mentioned right away during my time with your pet, including grooming (such as nail clipping, long nails are detrimental to a dog's health!), and anything that may seem off that was not initially mentioned. I will make sure they are clean and prepped for your return and can provide as many updates be it photos or text with no problem at all. In my life time, I have had five dogs, more snakes than I can count, six cats, two geckos, my silken windhound service dog, another silken windhound, and have fostered an akita that my partner now owns. I have some knowledge on training, so if you need an attitude fix or help with basic training, I can definitely try! I can take bites, scratches, barking, hissing, etc. 9 times outta 10, it was probably my fault I got bit/scratched anyway because I wasn't paying attention to their body language.
Reviews
Very pleased with communication and prompt response time! Would highly recommend booking with Lykos, we are return customers and will be booking again futuristically, thank you :-)
Lykos came over a little early for introduction and a walk through! Then hung out with my kiddos like a champ while we packed up! ? Very open and kept in touch even when I didn't answer. Would absolutely recommend and hire again given the chance! So nice to know my dogs were loved and cared for. He brushed my giant floof which is a chore enough. But then got to have my sassy husky demand attention. No issues my dogs were happy in all the pictures and came home to happy safe dogs a clean mess free home. Cannot say enough about him!
Great communication and respectful of our home! Lykos was available on a last minute basis and we were very grateful for the help, Sage had a great time and she enjoyed your company! Would highly recommend booking with Lykos, thanks again:-)
Lykos was great! He watched my 5, yes 5, cats for me while I was gone for the weekend. He was even willing to go in to my chicken coop to collect eggs :) after meeting him during the meet and greet I felt like my animals were in good hands. Will definitely book with him again!
About Lykos Q.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I supervise all animals no matter their situation. I make sure they're behaving normally and whatever the protocol is for when I'm away from home, that is followed exactly. For instance, I kennel my dog(s) when I leave from my home so they don't get into anything dangerous or tear up the household. I have had one client where I needed to kennel one dog downstairs and the other kept upstairs and have a baby gate seperate the floors. Another client requested I exercise their dog first before leaving the home for any extended period of time.

Information Lykos Q. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your animal has any sort of aggression. I can absolutely manage all levels of aggression, I would just like to know ahead of time so I can prepare.
A typical day
It honestly really depends in the animal I'm watching. Dog friendly, high energy dogs will be introduced to my dog friendly high energy dog so they can tire each other out. Non-dog friendly, high energy dogs will be exercised in the nearest empty field away from any busy roads, on or off leash depends on the dog's training. Low energy or elderly dogs will be walked around the block and we'll just hang out in the house all day. Any other animals will depend on what they are and what their needs are

Availability
I currently work overnights at safe harbor (midnight-8:30/9 AM), Mondays into Tuesdays, Wednesdays into Thursdays, and Saturdays into Sundays. There is also almost always someone home, so no animal will be alone for longer than 4-8hrs.
