Big or small I care for them all 😌

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for and raised dogs since I was very little but started professionally caring via daycare and grooming the moment I turned 18. In my adult years I’ve raised an intact male dog of my own and rehabilitated a homeless rescue that was given to me in just the last two years. In my daycare settings I’ve had plenty of experience reading dog body language, performing first aid care and daily medication administration for senior dogs. But I don’t shy from puppy care either, wether it be curbing that puppy biting, jumping or just basic house breaking you learn along the way that patience and consistency is your best friend!!

For as long as i can remember she has always been in love with pets, from the smallest of birds, to the biggest of dogs, ferrets, cats, squirrels, mice. If it had four legs and she found it she was always trying to convince me to let her keep them till they were better and she could find them a home. She was picking up books from the library about animal anatomy and how it works to reading medical books on how to help an injured animal. I have seen people come to her for animal advice and what to do several times ( and the advice that she gave them was helpful and they were thankful to her for taking the time to teach them things that they didn't know before talking with her. When we were in Hawaii her aunty and some of her friends would call her just to ask her questions about there own animals and what could be causing what ever was wrong with them, while we were there i watched her clicker train more than one dog (including her own that she was given) and i was very happy with how she trained her dog and how well behaved he turned out. I feel what makes her such an awsome human being is her big heart for animals and the joy that it brings her, anytime that i have seen her work with animals there is this glow and happiness that comes out in her that lets me know that her heart is and always has been in to animal care, I really hope that this helps you to better understand how much love and attention that she will provide in your pet and others as well.

Sparrow is a very hard working and strong willed woman. She takes her jobs seriously and is always wanting to succeed. She is very gentle and caring with animals. Any animal in her care will get the utmost love and affection from her at all times. I trust her 100%. I highly recommend her.

Sparrow used to walk my dogs all the time when she was younger; she’s always caring and gentle with the dogs who need it the most and goes out of her way to make sure the pups always have a adventure!

I have two friendly dogs that would love to make new friends!! If that’s not your pups pace however I do crate and rotate and focus on one on one handling. Tethering and place training is all part of my daily routine as well to encourage your dog to learn an off-switch and how to be a part of every day human life while not letting you trip over your toes!!
