I ❤️ Pets Always Available Pet Care

Pet care experience

🐾 I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was old enough to remember. Neighbors, Friends, Family have relied on me for PET care my entire life I have fostered pets since my early 20's As for my personal ideas about this job.... 🐾I love❤️ PETS 🦮 I love all Animals from mice🐁 to horses 🐎 I had my first dog aTerrypoo when I was just 4 he & I were inseparable. My next pet was a 😺 who had kitten's 🐈 & then I had 3 cats I loved ❤️them they went with me 🐾everywhere I went🐾. But I missed having a dog at 8 y/o I felt desperate for canine 🐶company I knew all the dogs in the neighborhood so I ran my own 🐕‍🦺dog walking 🦮service & I did it for free just for the opportunity to 💜spend time with dogs of all sorts 🤸and sizes From Grate Danes to Chihuahua's and every breed in between a pair of dalmatians a greyhound who was a retired race dog. At 13 while my sisters got babysitting jobs I got pet sitting jobs in my neighborhood all types of pets birds🦜(I❤️birds) lizards🦎 hamsters🐀 guinea pigs goats🐐chickens 🐓and a miniature🐴horse once but dogs & cats remained my favorite. My clients told their friends🗣️ how good I was👍with animals & word spread💌 quickly and I had so many walking & sitting jobs every day after school was booked up for walks and all my weekends for sitting & all my summers🌞 were booked solid I loved💚 it as long as I was with animals I was happy😁. The woman across the street had a grooming service & I used to hang out & help her I learned a few grooming tips. Throughout my life whenever a friend/family or family friend needed a sitter or a drop-in or walker it was never a question of who to ask everyone knew my fondness for animals. My first foster was a Husky puppy she and I took obedience training classes together and when she went home🏡 her family was so grateful for all the progress we made and how well behaved she was. I also fostered a rescue German shepherd who was pregnant she had 9 healthy and happy puppies it was an amazing experience & I was happy to see them each as they left to their forever homes 🏠and then momma too. I fostered several more dogs throughout my 20's 30's early 40"s. I worked a short time on a cattle🐄ranch in Montana they bred Corgies as cow🐮 dogs it was so fun watching her dogs follow her commands to herd the cattle while I rode horseback 🐎through the beautiful countryside. Eventually, I got my first Chihuahua🐩 I had never had a small dog of my own I always had big dogs. I could never have imagined loving💙💛 a dog more than all the love I shared with all the dogs in my life. until I got my first Lil fur baby Scooter Dooter Doo I loved having a small dog. He was deer head white with black and brown spots. A few years later I got a roommate she had a female same breed so the vet🩺checked them and said they were healthy for a litter🐾 so we had 🐾puppies! I🧡 loved it so much that if I could🐾 have little Chihuahua 🐾puppies🐾running around all the🐾time every day🐾 I so would! over time we had three litters. It was some of the happiest 😁memories of my life. I decided to keep the most tiny puppy from the last of the litters & named her Honey Bunny boo then when she was still a very young puppy I moved to a smaller place. So I blessed 😇my sister's family with her father my first Chihuahua and they love❤️ him. Now it's just me and Bunnyboo🐇🐰 which is perfect she's the love💝 of my life But 🤗love having an abundance of animals in my life. so I'm looking forward to meeting & greeting with other pet owners/pet lovers & getting back to doing what I love💛most spending as much time with pets of all kinds as much as possible Meow🐾 for the kitties🐈 &🐾walking dogs🐾🐕‍🦺 again the more pets in my life the better so I look forward to meeting you and all the good dogs who are anxious for a walk and kitties to cuddle we will become fast friends

Shawsta took great care of my cattle dog Azul. She made sure he had variety and fun in his day. She kept in contact throughout my trip w/ photos and videos. I knew my bud was super safe and getting lots of love and attention. Thanks so much neighbor!

I can tell that Shasta cares a lot about animals -- she brought my cat extra treats and toys. However, her communication style did not work for me. I had booked her for daily drop ins on my cat for 6 days. On multiple occasions, she showed up significantly later than expected and was difficult to reach to find out when she was planning to go. I also arrived home to find that she had reorganized my kitchen and liquor collection without asking me.

We appreciated Shasta’s attentiveness to our dog, Lefty while we were away for the thanksgiving holiday. She sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos to see that Lefty was doing well. Shasta was immediately comfortable around Lefty. We were also glad to have someone keeping an eye on our house. ;) Everyone was happy when we returned and it was great to know our dog was in capable hands. Thank you again!

I will always make your pet my 1st & top priority I will do whatever it takes to ease any anxiety they may be having with a new person in a new situation I will follow all and any instructions from pet parents. I will keep to the regular schedule they are used to for feeding potty & walks to help as they adjust to an unfamiliar situation. If there are certain food allergies I will strictly adhere to instructions on what they can eat and especially what cannot be fed Also if your dog is on medication I am a pro at giving pets their meds in a snap. And as for pets with health issues or other special needs, I am very good at taking special care and attention I will do my very best to keep your pet comfy confident healthy, and happy. I understand that being away from your pets is difficult & can even feel heartbreaking. and it can be scary leaving them with a person u don't know very well. But I promise by choosing me you have absolutely made the best choice because with me ur pets & your home are in the very best hands I will take very good care of them and show them love compassion and kindness I will do all I can to ease the anxiety you & your pet may experience during the initial adjustment period But rest easy cuz after the first time its eezzee peezee squeek toy squeezy just ask my past or current clients. I am also very keen on noticing when a pet isn't feeling well & I am very good at taking care of pets who are feeling yucky & know alot of things to do to get them feeling better. I am also very good at knowing the difference & when it's time to see a vet I am experienced & gentle at taking accurate temps. This will likely never happen however before I do anything I will reach pet parents immediately if 4 some reason u are not able to make it home I can absolutely get ur pet to their vet or an ER vet if its after hours & I will stay w/ them day & night until u can get there giving u minute to minute updates.. However, this is not going to happen so please don't worry & put it out of your mind I just want to let u know you will not need to worry I will handle anything that comes my way to ensure the best care & safety of your best friends

Information Shasta Love M. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know of any special or specific needs or food allergies your pet may have and I will accommodate them & also follow all & any special or specific instructions given by the pet owner such as if your pet is a senior and has arthritis or recovering from a surgery I can accommodate physical or massage therapy. Or house training potty pads frequent trips outside or for Walks is your dog friendly with other dogs or is he/she better kept tightly secure while passing other dogs? Does ur dog need to take it slow and easy or are they high energy and need a faster walk or some fetch time at the park or in the yard? Are there any allergies or certain foods they shouldn't have are they on medication I am a wiz at getting meds down in a snap! I'm also good at nail clipping. But Most important is your pet's safety health and well being and it will always be my top priority

A typical day

My 1ST priority is your pet's comfort & 2 ease any anxiety of a new person. Once we get that taken care of then we can move on to playtime, walk time, petting session, fetch with a frisbee/ball, tug-a-war w/a knotted rope or a rag doll,? or just silly play w/ a favorite toy like a little lamb? or squeaky ?duckie,or a particular blue tennis ball? chewed exactly perfect your pet enjoys let me know and I make it happen. I like fetch ?almost as much as they do & its a great way to burn energy ?and have playful pup time. Or for kitties ?maybe feathers on a springy string or a ball ?of yarn. no matter what type of pet or thier age I will make the best of our time spent together so that they will not be sad or anxious ? about your absence. I assure u that I will give your pet plenty of love❤️ affection and attention as I do my own which are extremely spoiled. If your pet is older or has special needs I will do everything to accommodate them take it slow and take it easy baby So book me for your next Rover service you will be so happy you did & your pet ??will be extremely happy you did❤️?❤️PUPCAKES I DO WAG N WALKS SIT AND STAY HOUSE SITTING & DOO DOO DROP INS
