Pet care experience

I will be pawwfect for your babies!

I do senior care, special needs, puppies, play time, walking and bathing. I do not mind cleaning up after your animals and I plan to bond with them. I do not just come and go like most people, I plan to give your animals joy when I visit. I have worked in a vet clinic for approx a year so I do have some specialized skills administering meds when needed and cleaning up after them. I can board one pet at a time , only on weekends ( Friday night - Sunday) when I board animals I do not have my cat present , as they will be kept separated. I do have a large kennel and a lot of space to play in the fenced yard.

Met Michael at colonie center and wally instantly hit it off with him! Found out that he was a dog walker and animal care giver!!! Mike checked in and checked out with me via text because the app has some technical issues (weather related) when he visited w/ Wally. He provided Wally with play time, a walk & treat I left him. He also cleaned up after him because Wally left a mess. I appreciate the extra effort! Wally did well with him and I highly recommend for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I create a loving and safe environment for the animals I care for. I believe that the animals I care for will Bond with me, especially if I am coming back routinely. I think that is important for the animals to have a happy and fun experience and a very loving and trusting experience.

I will walk them, let them run around their yard or dog park. I will play tug of war or fetch. I will teach them things if they are young like basic commands.

Please let me know if you dog or cat needs any type of social accomodations, medications or if certain things trigger them in any type of anxious or fearful way. Some dogs do not like thunder for example or if you come up to them, they'd rather always come to you. I am used to dogs with anxiety or special needs and also have worked in a vet clinic for approx just under a year.....
