Love All Furbabies Great & Small

Pet care experience

I am extremely good with reading an animal's energy and being able to work with it at a level that helps them find trust and peace with me, even in some of the extremely timid or traumatized individuals. Right now I cannot provide services for pets needing to be walked on leash for anything. Health reasons are preventing this but I'll get it all sorted out shortly. I will care for your warmbloods from horses to mini Dachshunds.. With over 50 years of experience loving and caring for furbabies large and small, I've been involved in most stages of their lives since I was a baby myself. I've fostered, and tamed some wild ones, and raised a bunch of my own that are darned fine critters. I bring love and care, play and sport, patience, calm and kindness with me wherever I go. I learned a deep sense of respect for all animals from much time growing up on my Grandpa's ranch with horses, cattle, and dogs and following as close in his footsteps as I could manage. Before signing up with Rover, I've cared for skittish English Mastiffs and Great Pyrs, Yorkies, Jack Russells, kitties of many varieties and my own German Shepherds. Time and circumstances continue to change and I find myself more available these days. I can stop by your house while you're at work and take them out to potty and play, see to their creature comforts, or I can come stay with them while you're out of town, giving them a bit of a 'stay-cation'. I'm more than happy to send updates and pictures as often as you'd like. Maybe the occasional video too if you're missing your 'little buddies' something fierce. I can tell the difference between mild allergies and more serious conditions that could need vet care ASAP. Getting meds down them can be tricky but I always manage in the end. I do know first aid for furkids and am careful about such things as bloat/gut twist. I do prefer playing in fenced yards since my old body isn't as spry for walks as it used to be.

Wendy did great I was gone for a week and was very nervous of leaving my dogs alone for the first time but she helped ease my mind with good communication and daily updates.

Wendy watched our cat and dog for us while we were out of town for the holiday. I appreciated her thorough communication during our time away and her dedication to following all the instructions I had written down. It was nice to know we didn't have to worry about them while we were gone. We would 100% work with Wendy again for our next trip.

Energy levels, temperament, well socialized or not. Potty trained or not. Just general personality and traits. Allergies and medical history. I do love my German Shepherds, but have an affinity for them all.

A typical day

Activities will be tailored for each individual's preferences and activity levels. Fetch, chase, (no walks right now due to my own health reasons which should be sorted out shortly) can all be included. Maybe even a little soft teaching of manners and such. For the kitties, I can school them in the Dark Arts - if they don't already know them... hahahaha... Just kidding..
