5.0

Outside of my natural nursing instincts in wanting to help others, my profession has also made me someone mindful of the environment and the ones I am caring for. Safety is a top priority. Regardless of whether the care provided is in your home or mine, you know you will be comfortable leaving your fur babies in my hands. I effectively multi-task, where I can be the "fun friend" for your pet while maintaining a safe environment. I believe it is essential to not only be aware of the surroundings and assess various safety factors of the environment but also to be mindful of the animals, their behaviors, and the situation.

Dogs and Cats are like people, and their likes, dislikes, and interests can vary greatly. I believe it is essential to get to know each one individually and personally to learn about their daily routines and likes and dislikes. A typical day will undoubtedly include activities your pet is used to doing. So whether it is going on a walk to explore the neighborhood, spending a day at the beach, or just chilling on the sofa getting a doggy or kitty message, our time spent together will be enjoyable. But their stay with me will also include enrichment activities, which gives the pet a sense of control and reduces stress. I will not only get them physically moving but get their minds active, too. Some enrichment activities include scavenger hunts, puzzles, scent games, learning and playing a new game or with a new toy, or even something as simple as blowing bubbles. The enrichment activities for cats versus dogs may be similar in some aspects, but the puzzles or games may vary, and the items used can differ. In all, your pet will have so much fun with me; they will ask you when you're planning on leaving next!
