Furry friend need a pal for a day?

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Primrose and I currently live in Cambridge, MA. Originally from Chicago, IL, I'm a veterinary technician at a Greater Boston animal hospital and an alumna of Northeastern University in Boston. I'm in my 20s and my favorite hobbies include painting, baking, and watching sci-fi shows! I have classes/work during the week but am willing to be as flexible as I possibly can. I love dogs and helping people feel that their pets are in good hands! I come from a family of animal caretakers and owners. My mother was a dog breeder and trainer and passed her love of animals onto me. Back in Chicago, I've helped raise two dogs for 13 years and in New England, I've helped train and raise three dogs. My family had a 13-year old black & white English cocker spaniel (the one in my photos) who had been my best friend since before he was housebroken! He recently passed away so I miss my dog now more than ever before since I have moved from Chicago to Boston. My dog's love and the love I have for my dog inspires me to share my love with owners' dogs in the Greater Boston-area. Whether they are big, small, loud, quiet, rowdy, or shy, I've met and dealt with all! Need someone for a few hours or a few nights? I would love to help you and your fuzzy family member feel comfortable about being away from home and accommodate my services for all your needs. **Please ensure that you are looking at the correct calendar for your desired service to get an idea of my availability and to know whether or not I am available for your desired time period.**

Primrose recently took care of our aging Newfoundland for a week while we were on vacation. She always keeps us updated with pictures and watches our pup with a careful, loving eye. With her experience in the veterinary setting, and her responsible nature, there isn't anyone we'd trust more to stay with our dog while we are away. Highly recommend Primrose.

Primrose recently stayed at our home for 10days to care for our dog while we were out of town. Primrose always exhibits the upmost professionalism and is very communicative while we are gone, sending funny pictures that capture the quintessential nature of our pup. She has been helping us out for years and has become a trusted, indispensable part of our lives. Highly recommend Primrose to all in need of a responsible animal lover.

Primrose was wonderful! She is very communicative at every step of the process and we felt very comfortable while we were away. We got multiple photos per day and our dog seemed very happy/comfortable with her!

Information Primrose N. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but I would like to know the general demeanor and dog's personal preferences in addition to the standard food/water/bathroom/meds info. I have experience in giving oral medication and administering injection medication. I am open and willing to learn how to care for your fuzzy best friend as much as needed. Before giving me the pleasure of taking care of your buddy, please let me know if your friend has any special needs or is particular in any tastes so I may accommodate accordingly for their comfort.

A typical day

While I am in care for your loving pet, I do not intend on them unsupervised. If I were to perform a task in which I would not be able to multitask and supervise them (e.g. showering), I would crate them or block off an area of which they will be safe to be unsupervised for a short period of time. I am experienced in basic grooming for dogs. I am happy to provide a bath and nail trimmings if you so choose to request it. If you would like for me to do any services while you are away, feel free to ask!
