Pet care experience

I treat all dogs as I would people!

I'm loving to all dogs, big and small. Others' dogs tend to gravitate towards me, which I love. I have owned two dogs, which I crate trained and potty trained. I enjoy going for walks and letting them take the lead if they know where they want to go. I also relish having them sleep with me if they want, and talking to them as though they are humans. I also have experience with older dogs who need extra loving care in their later years. Dogs are great friends!

Pilar was absolutely amazing with my old man Weim. He had quite a few medical issues and anxiety, and he always felt comfortable around her. Her communication was awesome, so I never had to worry…plenty of photos and texts (psycho dog mom here lol). Unfortunately our sweet boy crossed the rainbow bridge recently, but if we ever get another dog I would hire Pilar again in a second. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment steps away from Wayne State and there are plenty of places to walk and play! If need be, I lay out wee-wee pads and go outside as often as I can. There is a possibility of taking the dogs to work, too. A very low key office environment. Water is always available in walks and food is replenished as needed.

A typical day

Play catch, give commands and treats, cuddle on sofa, go for walks, play chase and tug of war with toys, dance around or try to do yoga:)

I know how to care for small dogs the best and have experience with having to adjust food intake for dogs with low mobility and who have lost teeth. I also have experience with blind dogs, (who have an astonishing sense of smell and great spatial recognition!) If your pup has a disability or health issue, I would be more than happy to administer medication, I'll just need instructions:)
