Pet care experience

I have lived with most of my life around cats. My Life lead me into going into the Army during my time in the army I found this wonderful stray dog at a gas station. Something in me couldn't walk away from her. I know deep down she needed me as much as I needed her. So, I took her home. That was in 2015 over the course of the next 6 years she became my service dog and healed me in so many ways. Unfortunately, due to her arthritis I had to retire her. She is happily retired on a beautiful ranch. During her transition into retirement, I was blessed with my next service dog Ruby. She fully stepped into her job march of 2022. I do have some experience with training dogs. With the guidance of some really good service dog trainers, I was able to get Cream and Ruby trained. For the last Four years I have been the only one to do Ruby's haircuts, bath and nails. I am not a professional dog hairstylist, but I do know how to use clippers. I also have a little 6-pound cat named Lotus Blossom. Ruby and Blossom get along like loving sisters. I still got more to learn about dogs. I am in the process of learning dog body language. When I was a live in caregiver for three years, I took care of the ladies two elder dogs. I would walk them and give them baths when needed. I don't really like clipping dogs nails I am afraid of cutting to short if the dog has black nails. I also have a sweet little boy that's a leopard gecko. I also know how to take care of freshwater fish. I have owned aquariums in the past. I own three male betta fish. When I was in high school, I used to raise and breed show rabbits. As much as I love little bunnies, I cannot hold them anymore. Something about their fur makes my skin brake out. I also used to have a homemade dog treat business closed down in 2020.

Safety, trust & environment

I listen to animals to the best of my ability. All living things have feelings. I just let my animals be who they want to be as long as they are minding their manners. I use positive and negative reinforcement. I believe in praising the good with pets, loves or treats. While redirecting your fur baby's attention from bad to good behavior, so that I can praise them again. My dog for example, when she starts to do excessive barking, I redirect her attention with toys are commands then I praise her for the good behavior. In a calm but stern voice. I love to play with dogs they can be goof balls. My little girl makes me laugh all the time she's such a little jokester. I respect cats' space if they want cuddles, pets or to play then I let them come to me and ask. I love playing with kitty's it's so much fun. This is a big one for me I make sure the litter box gets cleaned once a day for the health of the cat. I will stick to your feeding schedule. I do my best to live by the Golden rule treat others how I would want to be treated. That includes all living critters. If you have a schedule from them, I will follow it to the best of my ability. One last thing when out on walks I do pick up the mess. I use compostable poop bags.

Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. Have a very blessed day.

A typical day

If there is a dog park and the dog is friendly, I can take your dog to the dog park. If your dog likes to play fetch, I will throw the ball as many times as he/she wants. I love to hand out treats and pets. If your dog is supper friendly and loves to meet new dogs. I can bring my dog along and they can play together.

I will keep my calendar updated. I can do early morning scheduling. I am up most mornings by 0630. Rover has become my fulltime job. Although it doesn't feel like work to me, I enjoy spending my days around any type of animal. My schedule will remain as open as possible throughout the year. I will give heads up when I am taking time off.
