Highlights
Pet care experience
pet lover with lots of experience
I’ve always had a love of animals, and been in close quarters with both cats and dogs early in my life, which i found to be incredibly beneficial for me. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, from a grumpy miniature pinscher to a deaf pit bull, with medication routines and environmental needs. While much of my experience with caring for dogs is with older dogs, my forever dog Roxy was not always a senior dog and in her younger years she was a 65+ pound pittie mix. I love taking dogs around the neighborhood and letting them set the pace, and if necessary I can carry a pretty heavy dog, in case of a splinter in a paw or a mean dog.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Im big with cuddly animals, they often find me very approachable and sweet when i interact with them. My own animals are rather skiddish around strangers, so I tend to try and assess each animal by their body language, if it’s a jumpy and exited animal, I will greet them with a similar energy and love up on them, if they are a bit more shy I will get on their level, and wait for them to initiate. I only feel comfortable if my friend is, that when I know we will get along great.

Schedule
I like to keep animals out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, and try to make sure that they have enough time/daylight to work out all the excitement. I also take medication, so when caring for a dog who also needs medication, I like to take mine with them. I work part-time as a botanical assistant and artist, so my hours are irregular, but thus allow quite a bit of time for me to care for animals during the day.
