Pet care experience

Extended family to your fur babies!

I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets.

Schedule

I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.

A typical day

Dogs are individuals, as are people. I would ask the owners what kinds of activities, games their dog enjoys, and go along with those. I know dogs love nice long walks in parks or trails, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs that I taken care of really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on my lap, being scratched and stroked. It honestly all lies on the owner because they know them the best!

It’s very important to me to know what kind of food dietary, medications, or if your dog has any allergies or special needs because these things are so important to point out to me before I start any walks, drop in visits, or if your dog is staying over with me. Thank you!
