Pet care isn’t apart of my daily routine as much when I’m at college, but when I’m at home I’m very diligent as I’m usually the only one home.

About Sylvia M.

Safety, trust & environment

With my own pets they are not with me at college, but when I am home I have to keep a close eye on my dog, Cleo, as she has some medical problems as a result of age now. So with her I’ll take her outside whenever she starts walking to the door, refill her water bowls, and heat her food that has to be homemade now. When I was dog sitting for the night, their dogs had a very specialized food plan and needed a lot of encouragement and patience when it came to feeding.

Information Sylvia M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special dietary requirements or medications, I have experience doing this more my dog and other dogs, but I can only give oral medication. I would also like to know if your dog has a prey drive so I know what to expect when walking them.

A typical day

I like to meet animals on their level, so I’ll just go with whatever they feel up to. Whether that’s going another lap around their neighborhood or just going back inside after they finish their business.

I have known Sylvia for a long time, growing up close to my barn she would get her grandfather to bring her over to pet and ride. She would always stay and help feed I belive she enjoyed that as much as riding, she could remember the names of the horses,cats and dogs. She really has a kind sole that animals like.
