Pet care experience

<3 animals, had pets all my life!

I grew up on a dairy farm, and currently work as a dog groomer in Okemos! I’ve cared for animals all my life. This includes cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, sheep and I even have two geckos! I have shown cows and sheep at the county fair, so don’t worry if you have a large dog that likes to pull or play tug of war! I worked at an animal shelter dealing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I hang out with my siblings often who also have dogs, a cane corso and two elkhound mixes, and we’ve had labs and pomeranians in the past. I have experience giving oral/topical medications to dogs, cats, sheep, and cows. I am also open to taking care of any other pets or farm animals you may have!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have cared for a variety of dogs- different breeds, all ages, all temperaments. I grew up with dogs my whole life (among other animals), and I have learned a lot from my experiences about how to read an animals body language.

Madelyn is great with Dolce my Newfie. She comes a few times a week. Always sends pictures and feel assured my pup is getting great care when I work long shifts. Highly recommend.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs! Also any commands they know (sit, heel, wait, etc), treat or toy motivated, or any behaviors I should know about to keep your pet and others safe :)
