Pet care experience

Animal lover here willing to help!!

I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also.

Pepper had a blast!!! She got to hang with some feathered friends. Now we can plan our next trip knowing we can leave her for a few days and she will have fun memories as well. Thanks so much for fitting us in last minute.

Safety, trust & environment

Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

A typical day

We go for walks, play fetch, take them with to the stores, ( as long as the pet parent is ok with it) Also walk them in safe downtown areas and lakes.

I have helped dogs with special needs such as diabetes. I can administer shots to dogs carefully and safely. I just need instructions from the pet parent is all.
