As I said before your fur babies have my full attention and I will follow their routine as close as possible allowing them to settle in and adapt to the new surrounding more quickly. I can either take them for hikes or simply walk them around the block. I also enjoy snuggles on the couch as well (:

Information Salena S. would like to know about your pet

Do they need to be separated from others during feeding or treat time, do they get along with other dogs, do they have allergies or medication, will they chew on things when I’m at work. I’m okay if these are all yes. Don’t think you have to hide anything because I know dogs will be dogs. If the dogs have allergies I will make sure I buy special treats for them and make sure they do not share other dogs food ❤️

A typical day

Breakfast, Walk, Snacks, Play time, Snacks, Walk, Dinner, Snack, Cuddles, and then Bedtime. I follow their schedule or let them tell me what they want to do during the day.

Pet care experience

“Hello Furparents! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I know it can be scary to leave your loved ones with a stranger, so I want to make sure your fur babies think of me as an extension of their home. I have grown up on a farm so I bring a mix of both professional and personal experience in animal care. Growing up on a farm, I have always been passionate about animals and have understood animal behaviors and needs from an early age. Animals are just like people, unique with different personality traits, and it is important to me to care for your baby in their own special way. Not only do I welcome them into my home, but I also welcome them into my heart. My current dog, Bella, was a long-time client for years whom I happily took in when her mom moved to another country. She has been my greatest companion ever since.   I wish I could accept all my requests, but I have recently increased my prices to keep up with my demand. If my rate is too expensive for your current budget, I completely understand and hope that you might be able to book with me in the future. I take pride in my excellent rating and my relationship with my clients. I provide healthy treats (with permission) free of charge and always have plenty of new toys to keep even the most active pup busy. Investing in the animal’s health and well-being creates a happier time for everyone. You can have peace of mind and look forward to plenty of pictures and video updates of your little fur babies until you are reunited. I look forward to meeting you!

Salena was amazing, if there were more stars to give she would get them! She was constantly in contact with us and sent pictures of our littles almost daily. She also gave our senior guy his insulin shots and kept him on schedule with his feeding time. It was so nice to come home to everyone not stressed or overly excited. Absolutely will hire again next time.

Salena was an excellent sitter for our miniature poodle. She was willing to help with a same day request for an overnight job. She loved and enjoyed our dog and sent picture updates. We would definitely request her services again.
