Information Nicholas S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any particular quirks for your pet. Are belly rubs off limits? Does he not get along with others dogs on walks? Does he try to spit out his medicine? Is there a preferred method for calming down?

A typical day

If your furry baby loves to play, then we'll have a ball. For cats, I've got my feather wand toy skills clocked in along with kickers, crinkle balls, and laser pointers. For the dogs, we'll enjoy catch with a ball or Frisbee and play tug of war.

Pets

Used to big labs and st. Bernards.

Pet care experience

I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy.

Nicholas was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Willow. He sent me updates and a couple of great photos. But the real surprise for me is that this morning, Willow was sitting near her carrier. We all know that cats HATE their carriers - they bring memories of vet visits and long confusing car trips. But she seemed to be saying, "when are we going to that great place again?" On the practical side: when I picked Willow up, her litter box was emptied and spotless, all the extra food (and even a bit of litter in the bottom of the box) were returned, her dishes were also spotless, and she was as happy and friendly as ever. Very happy with this service - it is exactly what my cat and I needed!
