I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s).
