Pet care experience

Need last minute help? No problem

Hey there reader! I’ve been taking care of animals what seems to be my entire life now, or at least since I was physically able to! It’s always come naturally to me, almost like a calling. I started dog sitting when I 15 years old and haven’t really stopped since, I’ve volunteered and worked at animal shelters throughout houston as well. I’ve fostered a Pom-Chi, Shepards, Pit-bull’s, Dobermans, no breeds, Bulldogs, and many more. As well as, full on caring for a 17 yr old senior pup, recently rescued a 99ib Dutch shepherd who lives in Alaska with my friend and last but not least my little sidekick Poe - a gray kitty! I can administer medicine, give baths, clip nails, shave paw pads, prove balanced human-grade canine safe meals, and most importantly making sure your buds feel comfortable & loved!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I naturally believe in gentle teaching, animals are far more intelligent than we seem to give them credit for so I like to stimulate their brains with small jobs they’d enjoy or playing games for treats. I have a massive backyard where they can run around or sniff around in. If you’re pup is trained I can also take them on hikes or provide all sorts of fun exercise!

I believe that Whitney would be a great dog sitter in almost all situations. She is great with dogs and has great experience with raising a puppy. She has beena very trusted friend of mine who I would defineitly trust to take care of my dog or child because of the very relaxed and layed back but caring motherly attitude. I am quite happy to have someone like this as a caring friend who is close, would recommend!

I believe Whitney would be a perfect fit for Rover because of her deep love for animals. I can honestly say I have never met anyone that treats a dog like a human baby, shes so pure and lovable when it comes to that.

I'd really like to know if they are very energetic or shy. If they get along with other animals or if they rather keep to themselves. It's very important to inform me if your pet is aggressive, has triggers and let me know their boundaries so I never cross them!
