Pet care experience

Home Always, Walks, Selfies

I've always been the go-to guy for taking care of pets with my friends & family & anyone they know so it's not new to me. Whether it's a super hyper dog that jumps all over you or a nice relaxed dog that likes to lay next to or on you, I just like being around them! I have plenty of dog toys for them to play with & I keep some treats around. My house is on a steep hill so walking your dog is can be good exercise for them too. I take them out to use the bathroom regularly or whenever I can tell they need to (I'm pretty good at that). And I don't mind if they get on any of the furniture, including my bed if they like to sleep with someone at night. I've been boarding pets for over 10 years now so I have a lot of experience. I have epilepsy so I'm disabled & have made this my job. When boarding someones pet I'm always there to take care of all of their needs & keep them company. I basically give them free roam of my house & let them get on the furniture if they want. I take them out to use the bathroom when I wake up & before I go to bed. I also take them out daily for walks unless they're just not healthy enough for that type of activity, in which case I'll give them some extra time to get some fresh air when I take them out to use the bathroom. I'll follow any sort of instructions you have to take of them, whether it's a special diet they're on, medicines, or how often you want me to take them out for exercise. I've cared for pets with special needs before so I'm use to it.

Mike was great with daily check ins and photos. He also had timely responses if I had questions or wanted to know how my pet was doing. Drop off and pick up were easy, and I felt comfortable leaving my pet with him for the few days that I needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm always there so I can take care of any problems that come up. Since we spend a lot of time together, it also allows us to get close to each other.

A typical day

I live on top of a hill in a culdesac so as far as walking goes I can let them just walk around the circle or walk them down & up the hill. If they like to go out side & play fetch or tug on a toy I have a large yard for that. If it's a smaller dog that likes to do these things inside, we can do that too. I have a good sized doggy bed for them to lay on too but I don't mind them laying on my lap, up against my leg, or even if they manage to steal my seat from me! We'll always be around each other & It'll show in the selfies we take together.

If I can give them treats? Any specific activities you'd like me to do with them? How many times a day to feed them & what to feed them? Are they allowed on furniture? Any medical problems they have? Any medications they take? Certain Veterinarian you would want me to take them to. And just what kind of personality do they have?
