Pet care experience

Granola Former Farmer Animal Lover

I grew up on a ranch where we had ~20 horses, 6 dogs, and a spectrum of other pets as well. I did competitive dog shows as a kid (AKC and 4-H), and my family rescues and trains abandoned horses. In addition to the training experience, I have lots of veterinary medicine experience. I also love the outdoors, and would love to take your pup for a hike if they would like it! I have a very friendly and loving Poodle named Mae who puts up with anything and would LOVES to help entertain new friends, whether by playing in my fenced in yard, or just by cuddling on the couch.

Xavier is a phenomenal pet care giver. He was one of the few people I completely trusted leaving my dog with. Not everyone can handle the moods of mastiff, but he was incredibly attentive and caring towards her. He was great at administering medications, taking her on walks, and keeping her entertained at the house when it was too hot to go outside. When my dog was a puppy, she loved to test limits of what she could get away with and Xavier had no issue handling that. She was always ecstatic to see him.

Schedule

When I’m sitting I work entirely or mostly from home (just the occasional hour to two meeting elsewhere if anything). I care for my own pup deeply, and I structure most of my day around her (and your dog!)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard with a collection of toys/balls that’s great for play time! My dog is my family, so she and any other dogs are allowed on the couch and in bed (if you want off-furniture enforced to avoid undoing training, I can also do that.
