Information Tate A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special medications or needs that I can account for. I have dealt with senior dogs and oral medications in the past. let me know how I can help!

A typical day

I love exercise, so I strive to do as much high energy play as I can while I watch your pet. Some neighborhoods have parks I can walk to, and if so, I will take them there! it’s very important for dogs to get the stimulation they need. I have used the classic “launcher + tennis ball” game in the past! It’s stimulating and high energy, and I find that they usually wear themselves out from it. I love a good 30+ minute walk. It is great for both the dog and myself!

Pet care experience

I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!
