Pet care experience

"Good dags. D'ya like dags?"

I love caring for animals and have experience with reptiles, dogs, and cats. I have also worked with horses, so I’m comfortable in any home setting. Like a lot of families, I have had different breeds of dogs since I was a child. I have one adopted dog: a 5 year old husky/Australian shepherd mix. 2 cats are also in my home. Every animal has its own shining personality. I take the time to allow animals to get comfortable with me then show them the care they need. I have a gated patio area that they can lounge on, and a green belt with connecting neighborhoods that make walks enriching.

Schedule

I work from home. This allows me to provide constant care and companionship for the animals I own and host. My dog is crate trained with walks in the morning, afternoon and evening. She gets enrichment activities/feeding while I’m away. I live in a pet friendly area that is great for walking.
