Pet care experience

Ready to be your pup's pal!

I have been a lifelong Westie owner, and have experienced puppy training to senior care as a pet owner. I have also owned and cared for a variety of animals: fish, small animals, reptiles, and amphibians! In addition to loving and caring for my own pets, I have cared for and done simple training with the pets of friends and family. My goal is for you to be able to build and maintain positive, safe routine so your pet feels secure. I have some experience administering some pet medications due to owning a senior dog with health issues, and would be willing to learn new procedures to assist your pet's health and well-being. In addition to pet care at home, my pasr work experience in retail Pet centers and as a custodian means that I am understanding of what is necessary to maintain a safe, clean space for your pet as part of the drop-in. I am currently working full-time as a teacher, so my availability will be limited to weekends until summer. During summer, I will have full flexibility to help you care for your pet, especially in the mornings! I am willing to do meet-and-greets prior to the service to familiarize myself with your pet and home. Please let me know if you have any preferred routes for walking due to past encounters, etc.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I try to provide high-quality interaction and positive reinforcement for dogs. It's my goal to maximize the session time to give your pet the care, attention, and activity they need. Finding out your pet's interests and care routine is very important to providing the best individualized care--let me know how you would like the time spent!

Natalie is a true lover of dogs! She is very caring, responsible and dependable. She loved her dog Lambeau. Lambeau was the light in her life as much as she was in his. Penny, her new Westie pup gets the best love and care any pet could imagine. I would never hesitate having her care for my dog because I know they would get the attention and care they needed and more. Jean M.

Please let me know feeding times/amounts, off-limits areas, playtime norms (e.g. a fetch enthusiast, tug games, etc.), and if your dog has any key command words. Locations of any relevant cleaning supplies and spare bedding for crated dogs is also helpful. Any way you can walk me through your dog's day is great!
