I center taking care of my own animals around my daily schedule. I do my best to keep their regular feeding times ,and for my dogs walking times at expected hours. It can be difficult, but it wouldn't be fair for them to not know what to expect. So ultimately, I adjust my required needs around their schedule in terms of errands, and etcetera.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a waythey are accustomed to; meaning regular schedules for feeding, walks and/or medication. If they are staying in my home, I would try to provide the most comfortable accommodations as possible while awaiting their people. But in a client's home, I would just coddle the pet, give them comfort, and again - keep them on the schedule they are accustomed to.

Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog or cat's general demeanor towards other animals, and people? I would please not want to be caught of guard if said animal(s) were to attempt an attack response. I can definitely handle it, but I would greatly appreciate a fore-warning.

A typical day

If it is a dog pet, I know of some "dog parks" that are so fun for our canine friends. My dogs get along well with others, so if they were all a good fit we could play fetch for hours! For our feline friends, I know they generally like a toy with a feather or ball attached, so I would engage them in that way. I have so much fun playing around with cats and dogs, but I always meet them where they prefer stimuli.

Pets

Animals are everything

Pet care experience

Animals definitely perceive my positive attitude, and people do too. I genuinely love making cats and dogs happy. I often talk to any animal quite a bit because I believe a calm tone of voice is good for them psychologically. Additionally, I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout the years, working in kennel facilities and through ownership, and I understand what is required to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule, with much time to ensure your pets get the exercise he or she needs, and the attention they deserve. They won't be lonely while you're away! Additionally, I can administer any medications necessary and follow any special dietary restrictions. Your cats and dogs are in good hands with me!
