I love dogs! Playtime+walks too

Pet care experience

I am a caring person by nature of people and dogs. I work part time as a CNA/caregiver for the elderly, 80% of my clients have pets, mostly dogs who receive my care and attention as well. I enjoy walking, playing, talking to my furry friends and whatever is needed to make them happy, comfortable and secure. I had an adorable, active miniature schnauzer for 12 years. We encountered various people, other dogs, cats (including feral cats), some animals were friendly, some were very aggressive--by being alert and proactive, there was never an altercation. I'm observant, staying aware of the areas I'm walking in. I love being a caregiver to the most loving creatures of the animal kingdom. I keep their surroundings clean and neat--vacuuming/sweeping as needed Daily care for food and water dishes--clean and fill with food and water as needed. I am familiar with common dog behaviors and their meanings. I keep a running log of a pet's behavior I look forward to meeting your furry family members to provide love and outstanding care to your pets.

My girlfriend of 40 years loved her dog Max he was 15 years old when he recently passed away. She would be a great caregiver for your organization. She is trustworthy, loving, and she would be a great employee for your organization. If you have any questions you may contact me regarding this potential employee I may be reached at area code 562-201-5740. If you don’t hire her you are absolutely making a big mistake, so please take into consideration to give her A job soon. She definitely loves animals, and people. Regards, Lola Perez

I met Rosemary when Max was 4 months old and very active. She was very attentive to him--regular vet appointments, following vet recommendations for food, water, activity, etc. She would walk Max every morning at daybreak and in the evenings when she came home from work. He loved the hour plus walks to explore and at times socialize. They would go to most places together, Max loved to ride in the car--but she was very careful of the weather which determined if he could go or not. She went with him to training classes--loved all of his antics. She spent a lot of time with Max--cuddling him, playing and just relaxing. She has a natural way of communicating with animals and she loves dogs the most--I think it is because she grew up with dogs (mostly), cats and rabbits at her home. She was always looking for games, toys and comfort items (pillows, blankets). When she would come in, he would be excited, he would run all around as if to say, "She's home, she's home!!!" She will be a wonderful friend to your pet because she's loving and observant. She has a gentleness with pets that they seem to trust her right away. Stanley J.

A pet owner would do well to hire Rosemary to care for their pet. She becomes totally in tune with the pet, paying attention to the pet's bark, body language and their faces. She talks to them and always has time to play. It may sound a little cliché, but your pet will fall in love with Rosemary!

Rosemary has always loved dogs; her own dog Max lived a long and happy life, getting many trips to the dog park and regular walks. Rosemary has also cared for many pets in her work in nursing, befriending numerous pets on the job and providing care to them and their people. I know that Rosemary is both loving and patient, and she will make an excellent dog sitter, dog walker, or both!
