Pet care experience

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 21-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.

Information Sarah R. would like to know about your pet

Personality and Behavior: Understanding your pet's personality traits, likes, and dislikes helps me tailor our interactions to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. Dietary Needs and Preferences: Knowing your pet's dietary requirements, feeding schedule, and favorite treats ensures I can maintain their routine and keep them well-nourished. Training and Commands: Understanding any training cues or commands your pet responds to helps me communicate effectively and maintain consistency in their routine. Likes and Dislikes: Whether it's their favorite toys, games, or activities, knowing what makes your pet happy allows me to provide personalized care and enrichment. Emergency Contacts: Having contact information for you and your veterinarian ensures I can quickly reach out in case of any emergencies or concerns.

A typical day

Outdoor Excursions: Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, a trip to the local dog park for some off-leash playtime, or a hike in a nearby nature reserve, outdoor adventures are always a hit. Snuggle Time: Sometimes, nothing beats a cozy cuddle session on the couch or a nap together in a sunny spot by the window. It's all about providing comfort and companionship. Interactive Play: From a game of fetch at the dog park, to a stimulating puzzle toy session indoors, interactive play is a great way to keep pets mentally and physically engaged. Training and Enrichment: I love incorporating training sessions into our routine to work on basic commands or fun tricks. It's not only mentally stimulating for the pets but also strengthens our bond.

Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation.
