Pet care experience
I have had animals in my family = big and small = since I was very young my first dog lived to be 18 and was always so protective in a loving and gentle way - so began my love of animals, cats, dogs, fish, birds, even had a Guinea pig at one point. My dogs are my children and I treat them as such, both in training and life alongside them. Yes, it takes work, no one said it would be easy = but it's so worth it! = when you take the time to care for something you love = it pays back abundantly!! anything worth your time I am a trained Canine Education Instructor = I worked for a larger conglomerate for 2 years I want to help others with their 4-legged children because sometimes we just can't be there ourselves :)
Reviews
I first met Mj while attending Schreiner University. Besides maintaining a full course load, Professors on campus would hire her to sit their furry family while they were abroad. I have trusted her with what I hold most dear, my children. Kathryn B. E. I. T. Z. Peer Facilitator Hilo Hawaii

Skills
Information Melanie A. would like to know about your pet
No dog is too big or too small as long as you know his likes and dislikes what is she allergic to and what habits do I need to watch for? who do I call in case of . . . House rules are important = just because it is okay at my house with my children, does not necessarily mean it is at yours what commands do you use and what do I need to watch for? basics like eating and snack time, friends they may have, and temperaments I should be aware of = anything you would tell your babysitter - because they ARE our babies :)
A typical day
honestly, it depends on the doggy and the parent's preferences: does he like long walks? or maybe she likes to play fetch in the park? running through the sprinkler = or a good belly rub? does she like to be brushed or play tug-o-war? I will bathe if requested, I have some experience in massage I even make my own cookies! - that's if it's okay with mom/dad ;)
