Information Shiksha K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, dietary restrictions, medications, or unique behaviors so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs both physically and mentally engaged. A typical day includes playtime with toys or fetch, practicing simple training cues. Above all, if your dog likes to walk, then we are going to have a great time. I would love to take them out multiple times a day for 30 minutes to 1hr walks. Here is my daily routine when boarding a dog: - 30-60 minutes walks in the morning, midday, early evening, and night - Plenty of playtime in the backyard and inside - Refresh water (and food, unless scheduled), twice a day - Morning updates for parents or more as needed - Companionship throughout the day

Lifelong pet lover and carer

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra love and patience. I have volunteered at our local animal shelter where I took care of mummies and disabled dogs. I currently do not have a dog, and have plenty of love and care to give to yours! What I offer: - A clean and quiet home with private fenced backyard - A quaint residential neighborhood with minimal traffic and plenty of green spaces for walks - Flexible schedule with 4+ walks a day, or more if requested - Consistant supervision and companionship, I work from home and someone is always home - Fresh filtered water - Temperature controlled house - Daily morning updates, or more if requested - Fresh food options if requested (fruits, veggies, plain cooked chicken breast) - Accommodation for special routines, medications, dietary restrictions
