Pet care experience

Canine Consultant

My household now has 2 dogs :) Both 3 years old. Tibetan terrier and a Dalmatian- both intact. The TT is more of a cat-dog, he does play but has no problem being a couch pillow as well. The D is very playful but also learning how to play safely. This has always been a passion of mine; I started when I was 12. I used to own a Yorkie that I took in because his previous owner could not deal with his trust issues and potty-training accidents. He passed away in 2020. I worked in the veterinary field as veterinary assistant/technician for 6 years. I really want to reach out to owners who have dogs that are seniors or require medication. I understand what signs to look for and know how to administer medication even to the most difficult ones. I have a soft spot for the older pups :) I can guarantee your pup will be very happy to come play. I live 10 minutes away from a dog park so snow or rain, we can always take a trip to chase squirrels. I also rent sniffspots for a few hours depending on how large my group is for the day :) I’m furthering my career as an Canine Consultant. I do Rover for fun and to meet new people who may need help socializing or has a fur baby with some hiccups in behavior 🤗 I send updates every 3 hours with pictures, but if I have more pups then we are having a blast partying with friends :) I update when the group is calm again to prevent fighting. I do bathe pups if they get dirty in my care :) if you would like your pup groomed, please request in advance to have materials/time available. Grooming includes: (Skin/coat tailored bath treatment, detangle/matted hair, blowout-brush/comb, nail trims, ear cleaning, flea treatment$$)

Racquet is so sweet and handled my 3 month old puppy with care. She took him to walks and sent me updates every 3 hours. My pup had fun with her and the dogs she boarded. Will definitely book her again:)

Ricquel took very nice care of my puppy (Fido) over thanksgiving break. She sent us regular updates and pictures of Fido. I definitely recommend her services if you are looking for a dog sitter. Thank you so much Ricquel.

Schedule

My schedule is flexible. I work with pups on behavioral modification sessions. I may have pups to walk or cats to feed during the day for pet care services. I usually have up to 5 dogs total including my own during the week. If so, I will let all owners know of changes made.

Safety, trust & environment

I do pet care full time. Some days I do get requests for 30 minute to an hour visits. If I have to leave my pups unattended, I make sure they are separated and comfortable. They would be alone no longer than 1 hour and a half. I do not crate pups unless owner request for boarding :) I do crate for feeding or for safety concerns. I always leash pups when outside. Before each walk I make sure the collar is secure. I do not have a fenced yard.

A typical day

I tell everyone who comes to stay with me that their dog will get the ultimate “Yorkie Package”. The yorkie package is treating your dog as if your puppy was my own. I took Riley everywhere I went so please know that I will be taking every pup with me as well :) car rides, malls, parks, my son’s school, grocery shopping etc. The list is endless.

No breed preferences. I love them all. I have worked with many breeds. Big and small. The more I get to meet the better :)
