Pet care experience
I have helped take care of, and clean up after, pets as early as I can remember. There has never been a time in my life when we didn't have a dog to care for. Over the years we have also had several cats, a few rabbits, snakes, and turtles. I do not currently have a pet of my own but I care for several family dogs regularly. My dream dog is a red Alaskan malamute. I have some professional experience under my belt with both young, energetic, dogs and older, special, needs dogs. My Schedule is fairly open at the moment and I am looking to care for pets full time. I'm willing to be flexible with times and places. I am good with instructions and, if I am watching a pet in your home, will follow them. I can adapt to your home environment as needed. I am also big, and fairly strong but with a gentle hand and caring heart. I can handle big dogs, and small dogs alike. I don't mind having my face licked, and a wagging tail brings joy to my heart. I can not currently house pets at my own home but plan to add this service when I have a more pet-friendly environment. I work part-time. mostly from 2 pm-9 pm on weekdays, but I can adjust my schedule if your pets need more attention. subject to change and may not be 100% accurate from week to week. Prices for in-home care may very if I need to take days off from work to accommodate your pets needs. As a whole, I try to keep the pet's routine as close as possible to what they are used to. this is not always possible, but i feel it is important to maintain as much of a sense of normalcy as possible. that being said how I care for pets in a client's home depends on the instructions I receive and the environment presented by the home as well as the needs of the pet. I can't give an accurate depiction of care when the needs of each pet and home differ greatly.

Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet
Is your pet good with other pets. will i need to keep them away from other animals on walks? Does your pet have any special dietary or health needs? Do they have any behavior that can harm themselves, others, or property if left unattended? Is your pets care profile up to date and accurate?
A typical day
I prefer to walk in more natural areas when possible. i have a small collection of balls and frisbees that i use when watching dogs for my family that i will be happy to share with your dog. if your dog likes to play tug of war with toys I'm also happy to do that.
