Hi! I’m Skyler - a lifelong animal lover, active human, and someone who truly treats every pet like family. My experience with animals started as early as I can remember. In high school, I volunteered at a local pet shelter where I helped care for dogs and cats with all kinds of temperaments and needs. Growing up, my family also fostered many dogs, so I’ve been around a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels for as long as I can remember. I had two cats growing up and cared for cats at the shelter as well, so I’m very comfortable with feline routines, body language, and the quieter kind of companionship they often prefer. I even have some hands-on experience with a rescued pet pig thanks to a close friend. So I’m no stranger to learning the unique needs of different animals! I’m very active and love taking my own dog on new trails and adventures. Long walks, enrichment, and engaging play are things I genuinely enjoy, not just tasks to check off. I’ve also recently taken my pup through training classes, which refreshed my knowledge of cues, commands, leash skills, and confident dog handling. Because of my background, I’m especially great with: - Dogs who need structured walks and exercise - Pets who are anxious when their owners leave - Maintaining feeding, medication, and routine schedules - Reading animal body language and responding calmly - Giving lots of affection, play, and steady, reassuring presence You can expect reliability, clear communication, photo updates, and thoughtful care that keeps your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾
