Furr babies need love too!
Pet care experience
My first job at 16 was as a kennel technician at an animal hospital. We walked, fed, cleaned, and bathed dogs/cats, even administered medication to high risk animals. We kept charts and sent pictures to owners at doggie daycare playtime and made sure each one was well cared for! I have taken care of a farm full of Animals over the past two years as well. This includes dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. Each pet is unique in its needs and personality and I believe each owner knows best for their own and I am trusted to do what is asked and make sure to bring the love in my heart at every visit! 2 of the horses had special specific fed requirements, as well as the cat and I followed owners instructions accordingly each and everytime. I have dog walked regularly for my neighbors who were older and couldn't get out in the texas heat as often, and I love building those relationships with each furr baby!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am always aware that this is you and your pets home. I am coming in to help, but it still remains their domain so I will stay to the areas instructed and follow a routine so your pet is comfotrable and knows I am predictable and consistent.
Information Shelby F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any quirks or personality traits about your dog that you think really would give me a better idea of who they are. High energy, anxious, relaxed, any verbiage and really honest answers helps me prepare and be aware of them from the beginning. Each pet is different and i need to know about their certain things. I've had a dog not like balls before - it scared him so I made sure to never introduce those and avoid in any public places when possible. I've had dogs that prefer certain genders and maybe aggressive to a male so in public we would steal clear of any males seeming to be approaching or walking toward us. It's the little things that really Account for how your pets time is spent and me knowing how they really are and getting to know them over time is helpful for a strong and healthy visit/walk time and relationship!
A typical day
I love to get to their true dog nature and part of that is being active! We will go at your dogs pace for the day but sometimes them being able to take their time and explore is mentally stimulating them by using their sense and exploring! We will have fun taking new routes when safe and at the owners permission. If permitted I would be happy to walk with them around an enclosed dog park once more acquainted and let them be social to have doggie fun! And of course human interaction will be the key part of my visit making sure they know someone is there while they wait for you, their beloved life long friend to return home!!

Availability
I am looking to earn extra income and get regular exercise around my upcoming remote position. A few regular dogs to walk and some drop ins would be all I was looking for on a weekly basis!
