Im Here For The Dogs!
Pet care experience
I have always been an animal lover. I trained as a K9 security officer over 10 years ago and it opened up an entirely new world for me to want to learn more. I have worked as a dog walker for a few companies but I am hoping to expand into my own in the near future full time with a daycare facility for the 4 legged family complete with training and grooming services.
About Pamela W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to read the owners description and observe their behavior. The more of their traits I am able to notice the easier it is for me to determine when something is wrong and when to report it. My priority is the pet however as soon as I walk into an owners home observation can help me determine if anything is off that I should report that maybe the owner themselves had not noticed. I have worked years in security and observation and presentation to allow all parties involved to feel comfortable with each other is key. If something is off report it. And keep in communication with the owner as the moment is taking place.
Information Pamela W. would like to know about your pet
It is best to know a few of their personality traits so we can automatically know what to look out for as we are getting to know them ourselves. To know if they are on any special diet or have sensitivities we should know about. Sometimes there are certain ways you have to approach a dog so It is best to know basic personality and background traits.
A typical day
I make sure to keep in mind of distance and exercise, eventually I have even gotten the most stubborn of dogs to go further than down the street. However I also allow them the time to enjoy their moments and to show them they are protected and have a friend. Their favorite places they like to sniff, the grass, the sun, and they look at me and I respond like its a nice place it seems to make them happy. To keep them comfortable and explore different parts of the neighborhood so they can find spots to cherish.
Services
Pamela can watch in your home
Availability
I currently use the Wag app however there have been a few glitches that have caused me to lose recurring clients who have moved to other services. I do currently work a part time job however as I mentioned earlier. I want to expand into something more on my own terms and finally be happy to come to my work. Eager to work for myself and just have a comfortable living do what I enjoy.
