Safety, trust & environment

I love coming into a home and greeting the animals of the house. My cat loved to be pet when I got home, and usually needed some play time. When I come into a house I like to get my eyes on the animals first and say hi and make sure they I know I’m there. If it’s a house visit for a shy animal I’ll go about my other business until they come to me. Each animal has different boundaries that need to be respected in their own home spaces!

Information Phaedra F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/cat needs any medications! I have administered oral meds to an animal before, but if you’re animal requires something more in depth then I’m willing to learn!

A typical day

I love to meet animals where they’re at! Matching energy is important. If a dog is more high energy, they get pets and happy words, if they’re more reserved it’s good to be soft and gentle when approaching. I love playing with dogs, and cats! If a cat isn’t social I won’t force them, but playful snuggly cats will get lots of cuddles and playtime!

Pet care experience

On top of having grown up with dogs, my mom is a professional dogwalker. I have assisted her in visits and learned a lot about working with dogs from her! While I am limited in my ability to walk your dogs, I will happily drop in to give your pups/kitties some love, cuddles, treats, a backyard potty break, or whatever else they may need!

Phaedra did an excellent job with our two little dogs, providing lots of updates and photos during her visits. Also, she was very flexible with our schedule and changes, which is very much appreciated. Thank you again!

Phaedra has been a life saver for the last couple weeks with Rosita and Izzy. She is reliable, makes sure the doggies get their walk, play time and lots of love during the visit. Will ask her to sit my pups again.

Booked Phaedra last minute to walk my dogs for a couple days. She was reliable and super flexible. She made sure the dogs had their potty break during their walk, filled their water bowls with fresh water, played fetch and gave them lots of love. I could tell how much fun they had when I came home!
