I will take care of all your pets!
Pet care experience
When I care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, fed, and happy. I use positive reinforcement training to help pets feel comfortable and confident around me. I make sure to clean up all messes, outside, inside, litter box, and cages so the pet’s environment stays clean and healthy for them. I also value enrichment and will spend time playing and interacting with pets for as long as they want to play. Lastly, taking care to feed and nourish pets with plenty of water is a must, so I always check water levels and feed pets during regularly scheduled feeding times, should that be a concern for you.
Reviews

Safety, trust & environment
I have an indoor-only cat and I clean his water fountain, wet food dish, and keep his dry food available. I clean his litter box twice a day, and I play with him for at least an hour every day. I also snuggle all the time with him, which is always a great way to spend time. My dog passed away last year, but I walked her twice a day (in addition to potty breaks), practiced positive reinforcement training, fed her at the same time every day, and loved her. Now I have a classroom leopard gecko. I make sure his moist habitat provides enough humidity for him to shed easily, I keep one side of his tank in the 90s and the other side of his tank cool. I make sure he has meals worms every few days and I also feed him a calcium supplement. I take my pets to the vet for their annual check up, and can do the same for your pets if you find yourself too busy in the moment to do so. Otherwise, I am available for enrichment, positive reinforcement training, walking, pet sitting, and cleaning up after your pets.
Information Marielle D. would like to know about your pet
The information I like to know before spending time with a dog is how friendly the dog is around strangers, other dogs, and children. While out walking, it is inevitable that we will run into any or all of these individuals, and in order to help the dog I am walking stay safe, as well as myself, I like to know the dog’s disposition. I am better prepared to be in charge of the interaction if I know the dog’s manners.
A typical day
Depending on the toys available, I like to play fetch and tug-of-war with dogs who enjoy playing those games. I also enjoy incorporating training practice with the dogs I watch. For example, I will grab some kibble, practice the intended task, and reward the dog with a kibble bit and lots of positive attention.
