Pet care experience
I've always had a love of animals and their care my whole life. I took extracurricular activities focused on zoology/animal care in high school, and have been the first one friends and family look to when it comes to animal care, behavior, and taking care of them the best they possibly can be. I’m experienced in giving pets medications, adhering to feeding schedules, taking them out for walks and playing with them, and of course cuddling with them. I've taken care of dogs big and small, old and young, gentle and rambunctious, and I've loved every second of it, so I know I'll enjoy sitting for you and your pets just as much!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I care for my pet by sectioning off areas of the house that are either a hazard or could aggravate her allergies to dust and keeping it as clean as possible so that she can't get into anything potentially harmful. In a client's home, I would follow whatever guidelines they set so that I can best provide the care their pet(s) require.
Information Skylar R. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know the dog’s allergies, any potential behavior tics or issues that may come up (ie. if your dog has a habit of hiding, if they like to jump on people, etc.), and their dietary and interaction needs so that I can come prepared to give your furry friend the best care I can.
A typical day
Each dog is different of course, but with the dogs I’ve watched in the past, playing tug of war or play fighting with them is a typical fun thing I do with them because it burns off that energy that they tend to get when they’re around either new people or people that aren’t around them very often, as well as engages them directly instead of just throwing a ball and waiting for them to come back with it. And walking dogs at parks is a favorite because it gives them a lot of room to run, play, and even meet other dogs!

Availability
Pet care fits in my daily routine with my own cat, Luna, who I adopted 2 and a half years ago. I make sure she gets fresh, cool water and a refilled bowl every morning, keep her entertained by playing with her and opening the blinds so that she can enjoy looking outside, and manage her allergies to dust by keeping her out of dusty corners and periodically spraying her coat with a vet-approved spray.
