Pet care experience
Hello Pet Parents of NYC! Call me Sasha. I have been walking dogs all my life whether be it my own furry pal, a friends or neighbors, or for shelters. I am also a certified dog trainer. I have attend training sessions on how to better understand doggy body language and how to keep dogs mentally stimulated. I understand that it is very important to keep the majority of dog breeds active and engaged in different activities and games so to stray away from unwanted behaviors. I fully support force free positive reinforcement, that is rewarding good behavior and ignoring unwanted behavior, that way your dog will happily demonstrate good manners. I am dedicated to the wellbeing of your pet and I will always keep you informed.
Reviews
Sashane was truly an amazing dog-loving trainer that was influential in my dog's life. At first I was hesitant with the idea of doing a puppy training, but she immediately eliminated that fear. She and my dog made an instant connection, and for the next several weeks his obedience and commands improved dramatically. I can attest first hand to her ability to build relationship with your dog, train them effectively and trust they will be in great hands. She has a genuine and natural passion for dogs and it shows through her engagement. Will highly recommend Sashane!
I really recomend Sashane as a dog trainer! She was very profissional, passionate plus her sweetness was a compliment to us. She obviously enjoys what she does! Our dog is much better with behavior. I loved the extra time she spent with our questions and all the hands on practice. Sashane is a great trainer! !
Sashane was my dog Sadie’s trainer and was amazing with her. Sadie is very shy around people but once she met Sashane she went right up to her. Sashane is very knowledgeable about dogs and I would recommend her to everyone. My dog has come a long way and I have her to thank.
Sashane is a wonderful dog trainer, first and foremost, because you can tell just how much she loves dogs. She is kind, gentle, and caring with each and every dog, from the more mild tempered to the non-stop barkers. She gives each individual and owner his or her own time and advice in a group setting and makes sure that she provides helpful tips depending on each dog's needs. She is always willing to listen to any questions, class related or otherwise, and has useful tricks to help each situation. She is patient and consistent in her training methods, which is key in successful dog training. Overall, she is an absolute sweetheart and a true dog lover, which makes her an ideal trainer. We have loved working with her and have already and will continue to recommend her to family and friends.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I communicate with the pet owner and get all the necessary information about the pet, such as their name, breed, age, personality, health, diet, exercise, grooming, and training needs. I prepare a suitable space for the pet in my home or the client’s home, where they can feel comfortable and safe. I also make sure they have access to fresh water, food, toys, and other supplies. I follow the pet owner’s instructions and schedule for feeding, walking, playing, and training the pet. I also monitor the pet’s behavior and well-being and report any issues or concerns to the pet owner. I provide the pet with affection, attention, and stimulation. I also respect the pet’s boundaries and preferences and avoid doing anything that might upset or stress them. I clean up after the pet and keep their space tidy and sanitary. I also dispose of any waste properly and follow the local regulations. I ensure the pet’s safety and security at all times. I also follow the pet owner’s emergency contact information and vet details in case of any accidents or illnesses.

A typical day
As a pet sitter, I would do various fun activities with the pets I watch, depending on their personality, preferences, and needs. Some possible activities are: Playing fetch, tug-of-war, or chase with dogs Using toys, lasers, or feathers to stimulate cats Giving treats, cuddles, or massages to reward good behavior Teaching new tricks or commands to challenge their intelligence Taking them for walks, hikes, or trips to the park Providing socialization with other friendly pets or people Reading, singing, or talking to them to keep them company I think these activities would make the pets happy, healthy, and entertained while their owners are away. ?

As a stay at home pet care provider and dog trainer, pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Here is how I typically spend my time: Morning: I wake up early and feed my own pets and the pets I am taking care of. I also give them fresh water and clean their bowls and litter boxes. I take the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. I also do some basic training exercises with them, such as sit, stay, come, and heel. I reward them with treats and praise for their good behavior. Afternoon: I check on the pets throughout the day and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I play with them using their favorite toys or games. I also provide them with some mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys, hide and seek, or agility courses. I groom them as needed, such as brushing their fur, trimming their nails, or cleaning their ears. I update the pet owners on how their pets are doing and send them some photos or videos. Evening: I feed the pets their dinner and give them some more water. I take the dogs for another walk and I do some more advanced training with them, such as teaching them new tricks or commands. I socialize them with other friendly pets or people, if possible. I give them some cuddles and massages to help them relax and sleep better. Night: I make sure the pets are settled in their own beds or crates. I also check that they have enough water and that the doors and windows are locked. This is how pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine as a stay at home pet care provider and dog trainer. I enjoy spending time with the pets and helping them learn and grow. I also appreciate the trust and gratitude of the pet owners who entrust me with their furry friends.
