Fully Vaccinated petcare provider. Please let me know if anyone in your home is feeling ill so that I can take further precautions to prevent spread. Thank you for your support and continued patronage. Hi, I'm Natasha Loudermilk, founder of Little Wags of Aptos, and founder and previous owner of Buckhead Paws, a reputable pet care company in Atlanta. I'm in my 40’s and I've been professionally pet sitting since the year 2006. In addition to ample experience with dogs and cats, I have experience with exotics (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc.) and farm animals, too. I train dogs using positive reinforcement, and stay current on pet CPR & First Aid. Your pet's health and safety are always my first priority. I enjoy caring for pets!!!! Your pets will have fun with me, I will make sure of it. And I'll give them lots of one-on-one cuddle and playtime. I'm home most of the time, so I'm often available for last minute requests. ABOUT US: We are a family of 7. My husband and I have three fun-loving dogs; Peter's a ball-obsessed Yorkie, Chloe's a banana-lovin’ Shih Tzu and Joni’s a big lovable Anatolian Shepard. We also have two young daughters who are very sweet and gentle with pets. My youngest, especially, bonds very easily with our house guests. TRAINING: I can help train your dog using positive reinforcement methods. So let's talk if you're interested in this. This is why I charge more for walking and sitting puppies. As you know, they are a lot of work and require constant close attention. If I agree to help with your untrained puppy, rest assured that your pup will be worked with in a positive manner. I will also show you some training tips so you can continue the training. I can also help train your adult dog. Please note I prefer not to train when walking more than one dog. Training should be one-on-one in the beginning stages of loose-leash training. If you have more than one dog needing this type of training, booking back-to-back walks is the way to go. EXTENDED TRIPS: If you plan on leaving your dog for several weeks at a time, contact me so that we can figure out an affordable rate. Please let me know if your dog has any food allergies or sensitivities. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!! Interested in booking with me? Please Read This Very Important Information Below: *** I'm not able to walk or petsit dogs with extreme aggression towards other dogs or people, unless they are small and fairly easy to manage. This is for liability reasons, and protecting my other guests as well as my family. If your pets have any contagious illnesses including kennel cough and intestinal parasites, please inform me of this beforehand. I need to take precautions in order not to spread illness to other dogs. If you book an in-my-home or car service, please make sure your dog is free of fleas and ticks and on some sort of preventative. If your dog isn’t UTD on any vaccines, please let me know which ones and why. I may still be able to help out, but again, precaution is needed. This is very important as sometimes I petsit puppies that have not been fully vaccinated. I must keep my space safe for all. Thank you for understanding. CONTACT ME TO SET UP A MEET 'N GREET: I look forward to meeting you! ONCE YOU BOOK: I'd like to have a local emergency contact (relative/friend who loves your pet), and vet information in case of an emergency. Thank you for taking the time to read all about Little Wags of Aptos! When I accept a booking, I will give them one-on-one cuddles and playtime. Outings are also an option. So if your dog likes walks or hikes, trips to the dog park, or even an off-leash beach adventure, let me know your preferences. I first set boundaries for safety. And then I learn about how to best care for your pets and help them feel comfortable, safe and happy.
