Pet care experience

med student’s excuse to go outside!

I have had a love for all kinds of animals ever since I was a little kid. I’ve had every sort of pet, big and small, from fish to ferrets to dogs. While I have no professional experience looking after pets, I have always prided myself on my responsible and caring nature. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and has fun! I have had dogs of my own for the past five years. Freddy is a 5 year old Italian Greyhound and Sammy is a 2 year old medium mixed breed. If you want your dog, big or small, to socialize both of my fur babies are excellent with other animals. If not, a one-on-one walk is totally doable! I have personal experience with cats, elderly dogs, puppies, gentle giants, and itty bitties. I’m also comfortable administering medication as my own dog has a seizure disorder that requires multiple medications several times a day.

Our dog sitter was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own baby and gave him so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She even introduced him to her dogs, and they had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I would love to take your dog on a walk or run around your neighborhood or park. If your dog wants some socialization I can even bring one or both of my pups along for a play-date. If I’m with your dog I will treat them as if they were my own. When I take my dogs out for a walk I am always diligent about traffic and others in our area. I pay attention to my dog’s body language and will adjust our route according to their comfort. I always check the pavement to make sure it is not too hot and always have water, treats, poop bags, and paw balm with me!

Pets

A typical day

If walking or running isn’t enough stimulation for your dog I love to play a foraging game. I take some treats and scatter them as we walk that way your dog uses their sense of smell to find them. I’ve found that with my one year old dog that mental + physical stimulation makes for a very tired and happy pup.

I would like to know if your dog has any special quirks that I would need to look out for. For example, if they have a medical problem or only likes to walk on grass. Additionally, I would like to know how they are around other dogs (male and female), children, and strangers. Also, it’s important for me to know if your dog has any specific triggers. For example, my dog, Freddy, hates scooters and will freeze until they go by.
