Pet care experience

Can't wait to meet your fur babies!

I've lived with animals since I was ten. I have a three-year-old dog named Bandido who I've loved and trained since he was a puppy! Before I had Bandido, I volunteered for four years at my local animal shelters to help out with caring for the animals along with loving my late family dog, Max. I am able to come at scheduled times or at random! I am very flexible as I am a photographer for local businesses around Columbus! I also love to photograph animals as I am a freelance photographer so if I receive your permission, I can take a couple photos of your fur baby for your family gallery!

This is very unfortunate that I have to write this, but I didn’t have the best experience with Sara. My dog is pretty shy if she’s going into a new environment so I invited a meet and greet a day before the booking and she agreed to it and then she canceled 30 minutes before we were supposed to meet and said she took new hours at her job that made me a little nervous because I knew the lyrics doesn’t like to be in a new environment without me in it. Going to her apartment she was not present at the home. She had her significant other come down and get my dog, which made me even more nervous and then she canceled my appointment in the middle of the night going into the morning stating that lyrics had to use the bathroom in her apartment multiple time. She had me get a Rover because she did not want to continue to clean up after my dog and I insist I will assist with any financial wipes or cleaning essentials. When I did find a new Rover. She had a new Rover wait outside her apartment for 20 minutes because she said she was stuck in traffic, but she was the one who arranged the time for the meet up. The new Rover did State that my dog was very cold. so I’m guessing there was no heat on in her apartment. I’m not happy with how she went about my booking and hopefully this doesn’t happen to anybody else.

Sara was great with Dufus. She did a meet and greet first, which I appreciated. She sent pictures with updates daily. Dufus returned home happy & healthy.

Our dog Jackson had the best time with Sarah and her dog, Bandito! Sarah was so communicative with us and made sure to send daily pictures of all the adventures and snuggles. Sarah went out of her way to accommodate our pick up time when our flight came in later than expected. Jackson looked happy and healthy when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Sarah again!

Schedule

I host karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2am! When I’m not at work, I am at home as much as possible. I usually take the dogs on a walk in the morning, sometimes, if permitted, to my local coffee shop and farmers market to allow as much adventure and socialization as possible! I also have a dog park in my apartment complex that houses the friendliest dogs I’ve ever met!

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that the animals I care for, follow their regular routine and schedule that has been set for them. I don't like leaving them alone all the often so if I am gone for more than what they are used to, I will either leave them with a comfortable set up, or crate them. Ultimately, I listen to the animals needs! Ensuring their comfort while their parents are gone is number one to me.

Pets

A typical day

Weather permitting, I take pets on walks and small adventures to the park or to animal-friendly environments to ensure they feel a sense of adventure in their daily activities! I also love to engage in catch with the animals or play with them with one of their toys.

Please let me know if the animal has any special needs so I can accommodate my behavior to them in any way necessary. If I am boarding your animal, please let me know if they are food aggressive or does not do well with other animals as I have a fur baby of my own and want to ensure the safety of all the animals under my care.
