Pet care experience

Pet Lover for Hire!

I’ve owned and cared for animals since I was a child. I’ve had cats, dogs, a rabbit, turtle, and even ducks! Recently, I’ve done drop-in visits for my mom’s elderly dogs. I’d swing by and leash them to take them outside for a 5-10 minute walk and then administer medications and feed them dinner before leaving them situated the way my mom preferred. Taking good care of our animals is something I take pride in including feeding them, administering medicines, playing and loving on them, as well as letting them out to the bathroom or cleaning litter boxes. Pets can be messy but that’s not something I’m afraid of!

Safety, trust & environment

I’d like to set up an initial meeting with the client so the animals can get to know me, as well as show me their routine. I will enter the home, being careful to close the door behind me and let the dog out to potty in the back, play for a 5-10 minutes, and let them back in the house. I can also take the dog for a walk if that’s preferred. Before leaving, I can check their water situation (feed if requested) and situate them to their owners preference. Upon leaving, I will ensure that all doors are locked behind me.

Cassi and Lilli were my two German Shepherds and they loved Samantha. She and her girls would walk them, feed them, and even take them for rides. Both were on meds and a raw chicken diet. My pups have passed but while they were alive, I could not have done it without her.

Schedule

I am currently homeschooling my three kids. So, my schedule is pretty flexible to stop by throughout the day. I can do morning, early afternoon and most evenings if needed. I don’t work a full time job so I have plenty of availability.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or if you have any specific directions. I prefer dogs that are on the friendly side and good with kids. I am willing to walk small/medium size dogs but prefer to stay at the home for larger dogs.
