Pet Adventures with Pamela!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Pamela! I’ve taken care of my pets since I was young. Experience with an anti-social/reactive dog growing up. Personal experience with dogs that pull on leashes. I’ve always been the person that enjoys taking my dog on long walks or trips to the park. My strengths with pets include active and engaging play. I’ve also done long distance walking and dog friendly hiking trails. I believe pets are only on this earth for much less than we are. They deserve to see new sights and experience the world outside of their home (or even their neighborhood!)

Pamela was very attentive to all the details and very prompt and responsive during the whole process. My dog needed a little more attention due to a wound and Pamela followed all the extra instructions and made sure he was well taken care of.

Gemma needs a lot of care ans there are a lot of moving boards when it comes to our sweet girl and Pam did everything exactly like she was instructed and she sent pics each day and I felt completely comfortable with Pam in our home ….Gemma also was comfortable with her because she followed her everywhere !! I will definitely ask Pam again to take care of Gemma !! Hope she will be available because if you r lucky enough to have Pam then you animal is in the best hands with Pam!

Information Pamela D. would like to know about your pet

Social behavior: Dog friendliness to people and other animals. Dog reaction to things they see. How they greet strangers both dog and people. (Please be honest about how friendly your dog is with others, I’ve grown up my entire life with a reactive dog that is unfriendly, no need to be embarrassed!) Dog walking habits. Does your dog pull or tug? Allergies or specific training words. Food sensitivities. Are there specific dogs around the neighborhood your dog can or cannot say hello to? Specific routines you would like me to enforce. (Mealtime manners, walking manners, bedtime manners) And most importantly, favorite toy.

A typical day

As long as there is a space to place and toys your pup will be as happy as can be. I offer optional off-site hikes and experiences for your dog. If your dog enjoys car rides, we can go on a quick drive and stop at dog friendly areas. New sights and sounds await your curious pup! For neighborhood walks, unless otherwise stated with will go on a nice enjoyable walk! If parks are nearby we’ll stop by. Indoor stimulation play for pets can include finding toys or treats around. Hide and seek. Chasing balls and toys. If your pet knows trick I’ll be sure to keep them practicing!
