I currently own two dogs, two cats, a gargoyle gecko, some mourning geckos, and freshwater fish. I have previously owned a corn snake, Degu, rats, and budgies. If what you need is expert care and check-in's on your pet's including medication administration and exotic animal care, &/or walking dogs including reactive dogs then I am the person for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me and schedule a meet-and-greet for your animal. I am more than happy to provide them expert level care and understand that it is difficult to find someone willing to work with or has the knowledge on care for exotic pets or pets with behavioral challenges or medical needs. I even offer late night check-ins &/or walks from 10pm-12:30am for the nightshift workers who need it. Pricing slightly higher than average due to the higher quality more specialized care that I provide. Knowledge & Pet Care Skills for Your Dog/Cat including medication administration & behavioral challenges: I understand the importance of providing medication on time for pets with epilepsy due to having experience growing up with a dog who had epilepsy. I can administer epilepsy medication to your pet, including emergency medication if needed, and monitor the pet during & after the seizure. I have a special needs cat who has severe allergies and a mild eye condition and has had an ear infection in the past. So I know how to administer cats eye medication, ear medication, and oral medication. My other cat has an anxiety disorder that he takes anxiety meds for orally. He has actually asked me for his meds sometimes. He seems to actually get excited when I administer him his medicine sometimes; I think because he's realized that the medicine actually helps him. I know the importance of monitoring escape artist dogs closely due to owning both a Great Pyrenees Husky mix and a purebred Husky. Huskies are known to be as big of escape artists as Belgian Malinois dogs, if not properly trained or exercised and provided enough mental enrichment. I understand the importance of giving pets mental enrichment and not just physical exercise and attention, especially for intelligent high energy breeds. I do not walk dogs during hot weather, due to the risk of dogs developing heat stroke or burning their paw pads instead I provide indoor mental enrichment through food puzzles or smelling games and exercise through play indoors. I understand the importance of monitoring brachycephalic breeds such as pugs and french bulldogs for signs of heat distress or overexertion when they are playing or on a walk, and I understand their limited endurance due to this issue. I will not walk dogs who are over 70+ pounds if they pull excessively for safety reasons. I am willing to walk dogs of all sizes and even cats, but cannot walk dogs over 70 pounds if they pull excessively. If the dog does not pull and is over 70+ pounds then I will happily walk your dog for you. One of my dogs has mild food aggression and toy aggression only with other dogs if they approach and try to take her food/toy. So I understand the importance of providing distance or space if a dog has food/toy aggression with other animals and if it's severe to not have the toy/food around when another animal is hangout with them nearby; in order to prevent the risk of dogs fighting or attacking another animal. I also have experience feeding an extremely picky dog who is only just now at 19 months old finally getting an appetite after having been fixed at 18 months old. Exotic Small Animal, Reptile, Amphian, & Bird Care Knowledge: I know that reptiles and amphibians require a temperature gradient and humidity range in their enclosures to keep them healthy. I understand the importance of making sure reptiles enclosures especially snake enclosures are closed securely so that they do not escape. I know that Degus require sugar-free pellets and hay, and to never give them any sugary treats. I have a ton of knowledge in rabbit care and even cared for a special needs rabbit in high-school where I was trained under a veterinarian to provide the level of care he needed. Unfortunately I can no longer care for or own rabbits due to my allergies to pet rabbits worsening over the years. I have knowledge in how to care for small birds, such as budgies and I am willing to care for birds in size from finches to cockatiels. I used to own rats previously and have experience caring for them. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need an animal check-in for your exotic pet. I am more than happy to help and understand that it is hard to find someone who is knowledgeable or willing to care for your exotic pets.
