* * 🐈🐦🐟 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CARING FOR PETS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: PUPPIES WITH POTTY AND CRATE TRAINING, ASSISTING SENIORS WITH IMPAIRED MOBILITY, HEARING & VISION. SPECIAL CARE AND ATTENTION GIVEN TO PETS WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY ❤️😸🦮* * My name is Midge. I'm retired, and joined Rover in 2019. I am from Commack, raised my family in Northport, and now live in Huntington. I look forward to caring for your pet - be it a 'fur baby', ferret, bird, reptile or fish. Please feel free to call me - I'll will try to return your call promptly, usually within 5 minutes up to one hour. I will make every effort to book LAST MINUTE REQUESTS Excellent pet care begins with you, the pet owner - choosing Rover over a boarding facility I am more than just an animal lover - I have practical knowledge, and ability to make good judgments. I am reliable, and show every pet the same level of care that they get from their own families. Before your stay, I will verify that your pet's care instructions are updated with: - Current vet information - An emergency contact, who can make decisions for your pet while you're away. Make sure you will be reachable during the stay. - Other important care information, such as feeding instructions, bathroom routine, and exercise schedule. During the time I care for your pet, I will send you pics & updates that show you how much fun your pet is having - activities like playing in the yard, cuddling, or going for walks. Or, for our feline friends, and family - they'll be laser chasing, and swatting at toys. My goal as a sitter is to give your pet the same experience he gets at home. I'll try to match your pet's routine, from potty breaks, to the methods you use to reward, or correct behavior. We'll have some extra fun to make our time together memorable, and to exceed your expectations as a pet owner. I will soothe and try to alleviate the symptoms of separation anxiety in a variety of ways - Giving your dog lots of exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog! - Playing the radio if needed for comfort. - I'll give your pet a frozen Kong toy or other with your-approved treats in it. - Arrivals, and departures will be low-key. While staying calm, we'll prevent your pet from getting excited, and anxious. I'll supervise chew-toy time so your dog won't chew, and swallow small pieces. Please call me anytime if you have any questions. I"ll try to get back to you within 5 minutes to one hour. I meet my clients beforehand to determine their pet's specific needs, behaviors, and any special instructions - learn about owner's key command words and tips
