Pet care experience

True Paw Pal

I am currently a Member of National Association Professional Pet Sitters. Animal shelter volunteer. Dogs were always part of my family growing up. Before getting my first dog I read a 400 page book on dog care 3 times before I ever brought a pup into the house! When I moved out on my own I rescued 2 dogs. I took both to obedience classes and taught both commands and tricks. I even brought the Lab-mix one to a local nursing home on occasion. I learned that dogs have some amazing powers. (Both dogs lived long/happy lives.) I have taken care of family and friends' dogs; always teaching the dog a new trick before they have to go home.

Safety, trust & environment

My job is to make your pet(s) as comfortable as possible while you are away. This usually involves lots of exercise, games, or learning new commands. And they are showered with lots of love.

This lady took fantastic care of my dogs and my house. My dogs were happy when I got home and my house was clean, refreshing considering last nightmares. I enjoyed my vacation without the worry of my dogs. She is worth every penny. Thank you Stephanie

We enjoyed coming home to our happy fur family. Stephanie provided love and attention to all 4 - 2 cats and 2 dogs. We even got original puppy nose art to remember the visit.

And how do they let you know when they need to go? • Is your dog used to being left alone? For how long and at what times? • What is your dog’s usual routine for walks, exercise, and outings? • Does your dog have any favorite toys or games? • Has your pet ever growled/snapped/bitten at a person? If yes, please explain. • Is your pet afraid of anything? Vacuum? Thunderstorms? Garbage Truck? Etc.… Behavior and Training • How do you reward your dog for correct behavior? • How do you get your dog to come when you call? • Does your dog have any quirks that are normal behavior for them (e.g., funny noises they make) or specific tendencies I should know about? • Does your dog have any food aggression or instincts to protect particular toys? • How does your dog handle being around: o Children? o Cats? o Other pets? o Other dogs? • Does your dog have any habits like getting into the trash, chewing on shoes or other items, etc.? • When your dog is anxious or experiencing separation anxiety, what helps soothe him/her?
