Your Pet + Me = Adventure Time! <3
Pet care experience
Hello. Thank you for giving me a read! I grew up on a hobby farm with horses, chickens, dogs, cats, fish, lizards, etc. Now that I live in the cities, I miss help keeping fur babies happy and healthy. I would love to take your baby to have fun playtime adventures while you are hard at work. Send me a text, let's get together and make sure your baby feels safe with me and we are a good fit. I am capable of giving medication to your animal if they require it. I am also proficient at changing bandages if your baby is in recovery for something. These are skills I gained while caring for horses, dogs, and cats growing up on the farm. (Please note that I am not a vet, if your animal needs a licenses professional, that would be outside my realm of care.) If your baby is happy and healthy, let's talk about the amount of energy you would like to me to make sure they expend before you get home. I understand some dogs need a good run during the day otherwise they will not sleep through the night and some just need a buddy to hang out with them and feel safe. Also, if you have a rescue who is still learning to trust humans I am a good fit to help them understand they are no longer in danger. As a person who has both worked with and owned dogs who showed symptoms similar to PTSD, I have taken the time to understand how to best interact with them.

Thanks again Ruth for all your time you spend with Pinot. I don’t worry anymore, as I know he is in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment
It is important to me that your pet is safe while having a good time. This requires during our first meeting to go over your rules, what you have observed, and a discussion on what activities you like and don't like. For example if you're okay with dog parks or spending time at my home vs your home.
Information Ruth O. would like to know about your pet
I am allergic to dog breeds that are really slobbery. So french bulldogs, great danes, and pitbulls all for example I will likely not be able to walk, I am terribly sorry about that.
A typical day
I live in Mounds View which has beautiful walking trails, parks, and a short distance from dog parks. Once I figure out/am told what your dog's favorite activities are, I am down! I have had dogs to love tug of war, dogs that love for you to be down on all fours and box with them, dogs that like to pretend fight/wrestle over a toy, and then dogs that just want to walk next to you and enjoy the day. It's my job to make them happy and I take my jobs seriously. :)
