Pet care experience

I've looked after cats and dogs. My experience has mainly been looking after my family's furry babies. Looking after two cats made me understand how time consuming pet care can get especially if medication is involved. Her two cats are completely different. Lion (10) is very kind, loves cuddles, and isn't shy. Orca (9) on the other hand prefers to stay away from people until he is ready to say hi from a distance. When looking after them I like knowing how their mom usually feeds them, what they like dislike and their favorite toys. Overall I treat anyone's home like my own. Additionally, having a German Shepherd/Husky 4 year old has shown me the endless attention and care dogs need. The importance of routine in a dogs life is what I value in dog ownership. It has helped my dog and mine relationship over the years. Each animal I've looked after have a different personality and like things done within their comfort zone. When looking after my friends dogs and cats, it includes walks, playtime, feeding and hang out with them, all of which are in my album!

Mariela has done drop-ins for me and my cats. She followed instructions well for one of my cat’s medication. She replies back pretty fast which I appreciate too especially when one of them was sick at the time.
