Earth Tree Sky... a dog's view
Pet care experience
Earth, Tree, Sky... it’s how dogs experience the world. Going out for a walk is so much more than a toilet mission and exercise. For your dog, it is a welcome break from the indoors to go sniff, explore, and blow off some steam as well as relieve themselves. Time spent with your dog will focus on a positive mind-body-spirit experience, taking into account your dog’s age, skill set, activity level and abilities. Dogs from multi-dog households can be walked individually or together. Attention is paid to quiet transitions for your dog with the goal of returning them home relaxed and satisfied. I work with all breed-type dogs with stable temperaments, puppies thru seniors, including dogs with medical conditions/limitations, and can help you familiarize your newly adopted rescue with the sights and sounds of their new neighborhood. With several decades of all-breed, reward-based training experience, I bring a broad perspective to your dog’s outings by providing unhurried individual walks tailored to who your dog is. Your dog’s current level of training will be maintained or I can work on improving their on-leash skills such as excitement pulling, scavenging, and lunging at passersby, other dogs and/or animals/birds. In addition, I can attend to your dog’s specific daily medical needs including timely preparation of special meals, cleansing of wounds, ears and eyes, bandage changes, administration of injections (ie: insulin, Cytopoint, Adequan) and post-surgical isolation/cage rest as indicated by the dog’s veterinarian. Let’s schedule a fee-free meet-and-greet to discuss how I can meet your needs and those of your dog when you cannot be there to care for them. As an artist, mother and a writer, I welcome the break in the middle of the day for drop-bys and walks. I have flexibility some evenings and early mornings as well. Home visits focus on quiet transitions. There are so many beautiful parks, I hope to incorporate these into our outdoor experience as well. I will support the positive training plan you have in place for your dog, and help improve or maintain foundational skills they may need.
Reviews
I was going out of town last minute and needed someone to walk the dogs over the weekend. Nancy responded very quickly and it was clear she had a lot of experience with dogs during the meet-and-greet. She was professional and reliable and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
My husband and I wanted to have some flexibility to play in St Louis and Nancy was the perfect solution to entertaining our “girls”. Rarely have I met a better communicator as we made our plans. Not only was she simply fabulous with our pups, she provided ideas on places we can take them to enjoy walking paths in parks. Her “meet and greet” session allowed the pups to get to know her and they felt relaxed and ready to go. Nancy’s attention to detail, her creativity of ideas for the pups, and her truly lovely demeanor and calming influence gave us the gift of total relaxation to enjoy ourselves knowing our dogs were in wonderful hands. I’d recommend Nancy in a heartbeat if she’s available.
She always let me know if there is any changes I need to be aware of.
She has been amazing.
