** I have 5+ years of experience with dealing with pets with anxiety and nervousness** I’m a long time animal lover and have experience with all size dog breeds- especially large ones. My approach to all pets - whether it be dogs, cats, or exotics - is to first understand your pets personality and comfort level with people and strangers. Your pets safety and comfort is as important to me as if they were my own! On walks I make sure to bring doggy bags and water, in case your pet requires a pit stop. I also make sure to take them to enriching, low traffic areas and make sure they stay safe from both other animals and people if need be. When doing drop ins, i always make sure that your pet has exactly what they need (food/medicine/treats/etc), is able to to go out and use the bathroom, and is played with and enriched for at least a half hour (or to whatever extent the owner requires!) if your pet is shy and anxious and would rather be left alone, I’ll make sure they have exactly what they need and won’t cross their boundaries. House sitting is also flexible depending on client and I’m happy to either stay at your home the whole time or only drop in at the times you request! I also have experience with exotic pets including common rodents (mice, rats, hamsters), chinchillas, and birds!
