Love and safety.

Pet care experience

I take a lot of pride in myself both as a pet owner and a pet sitter. For the service of pet sitting and pet walking; I will communicate with the owner exactly what it is they expect from me as a pet sitter. I believe pets should be allowed to use the bathroom as frequently as necessary. I believe in the importance of pet security and safety while outdoors which is the reason I am a very alert pet owner and pet sitter. I would like to have information about pets and owners in the immediate area should we encounter loose pets as we go outside to potty. I take an active approach to pet sitting and pet boarding instead of a passive approach. As for the pet boarding service, I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. It is just me and my little Rambo (my chihuahua). Mine is a first floor condominium. We have a very roomy space in here and the complex is pet friendly. Should we need to separate any pets from each other for any reason we have durable extendable dividers where the pets can be separated but can still see and smell one another and see what is going on throughout the house. There is a patio in the back portion of the complex with an enclosed gate where your pet may relax and get some of that fresh outside air. Pets are free to roam inside my home if that is ok with the pet owner. Fun and safe environment with periodic fun time to burn some of that pent up energy young and sometimes old pets can harbor. Safe and loving approach is what I will provide be it pet sitting, pet boarding, or pet visits. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. Take care!

Information Richard M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any pertinent medical history. Age. Experience with pet sitters. Behavior toward new people. Random facts about your pet. Any special needs. Any special requests of the pet owner. If currently vaccinated and on any medication including preventatives. Who to call in case of emergency. Etc. The more information the better to make sure I am a fully aware and prepared for our time together. With all the serious stuff out of the way, What do they like to do for fun?!

A typical day

I routinely create obstacle courses both inside and outside my home for my pets. The reward at the end and along the obstacle course are meaty treats. I will communicate with the owner which kinds of treats are preferred and tolerated. These obstacle courses are a lot of fun and get the pets tired and ready for nap time. For doggie walks, there are plenty of open spaces surrounding my home that are walking distance from my front door. These include parks and the surrounding university campus.
