Animal Science Grad to Help You Out

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember I have always loved taking care of animals. During my childhood, my dogs and cats were my best friends and I loved learning about them and other animals. Due to my interest in the veterinary field, I started dog walking and pet sitting after school and on weekends when I was a freshman in high school, and continued on until graduation, with multiple clients I worked with consistently through that whole time. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, specializing in cat care and socialization. After high school, I went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I studied Animal Science. Despite not pursuing a veterinary degree, I still have lots of knowledge and experience surrounding both domestic and wild animals, and know lots about both health and behavior concerns when it comes to your pets. I have experience with both dog walking, as well as watching cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and even goats, and I have cared for both puppies and kittens as well. I know leaving your beloved pets in the hands of a stranger can be scary, but I promise have the knowledge and expertise to take wonderful care of them.

Paloma's been walking Chauncey twice a day for 6 days now. She is unflappable, consistent, precisely on time and the kind of grounded person your dog needs. I cannot recommend her more!

Paloma is the best! Cheerful, accommodating and knowledgeable. She walked my dog when I had a sprained ankle for several days. She intuitively made the right decisions like keeping my dog on leash when people were picnicking nearby. You won't be disappointed.

Paloma is awesome! Very trustworthy and reliable. We have trusted her with our 2 golden retrievers many times. She genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend her!

Unfortunately I am unable to take animals into my living situation currently; however, I am more than comfortable either going into your home or taking them out on walks. I have some basic training experience, and can play with and watch your pets however you may need.

Information Paloma C. would like to know about your pet

It's always helpful to know their preferences with things like treats, toys, and things like that. I would also appreciate knowing if there any behavioral issues that I should be keeping an eye out for to avoid any harm to them or someone else.

A typical day

It depends on their energy levels and preferences! Obviously walks are always great, but I also can play with them in your space and work on training. Every animal has different preferences and energy needs and I always want to make sure their getting all they need.

I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. My last job was very demanding of my time, so I'm looking forward to making my own schedule and spending more time outdoors and with animals.
