Pet care experience

Proud mom of fur babies <3

I love all animals with a very special place for dogs in my heart and have been taking care of them( including puppies and seniors) since I was 8. I am are very passionate about pet sitting and I mostly do it for pleasure than business. I absolutely enjoy their company and shower them with lots of love. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and other animals. My grandmother was an animal lover and always used to take care of wounded strays. I grew up under her care and the animal lover in me thank her for instilling empathy towards all living beings in me. I am a volunteer with a few animal rescues and that has been such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Nothing can beat the joy one gets seeing a rescued animal wag his/her tail once they realize they are in safe and loving hands. I am used to taking care of dogs with severe anxiety and also have experience taking care of dogs post surgery. I have two dogs of my own and they are my children and mean the world to me. They are the most sweetest and well behaved dogs and I am so proud of them. I have a 2 year old and he loves his four legged siblings so much and is very gentle with them. I love all the animals in my care as I would my own and try my best to return the unconditional love that they generously shower on us. I always keep multiple water bowls filled. All the treats I give the dogs are high quality and made in the USA. I can teach your furbaby to do tricks(sit, spin, roll over etc) if that is something you would like. I use very tiny pieces of shredded organic chicken as treats for motivating the dogs while training them for the same. If your dog is on a special diet I can also cook for him/her.
