Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I keep track of specific needs using a notepad on my phone, so let me know about anything your pet needs to feel as safe as possible with me, a stranger. I also keep a 15 foot long lead and basket muzzles in my car in case I need them during a walk. I have all of my own grooming tools and, if asked beforehand, can bring them along for nail trims or quick shavedowns. Please note that I am not formally trained so I can't do anything fancy, but I do maintain my own dogs at home and shave out paw pads, do sanitary trims and the occasional lion cut on our older cat. I will service outside my service area, but will adjust the price to reflect the extra gas, so keep that in mind.

I like to know the breed ahead of time, not that it in any way affects my ability to care for them. Age is also an important factor as puppies need a lot more attention and can be harder to work with. I like to know the schedule, if any, that each pet follows so I can make sure not to deviate too much. It can be stressful for a pet to adopt a stranger into their lives, so if I can make it easier in any way, I want to.
