Hi, I hope you're having a good day. Having had a pet I understand how special they are. I worked at Biscuits and Bath as a dog handler, walker and bather for 2 years and currently work as a veterinary assistant. At Biscuits and Bath, I came in contact with a wide variety of dogs of different temperaments, ages, and energy levels. I have developed a deep love for dogs and treat each dog as if they were my own with the love, care, and respect they deserve. As a veterinary assistant I can recognize worrisome behaviors and can handle large and small pets alike. As I continue my career I plan to become a veterinarian and conduct pharmaceutical veterinary research. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you and your pet(s) have a great day. If you choose me as your associate I would prefer to know the following: -Would you be okay with the use of an additional martingale collar? I don't want a dog to escape someway somehow from their collar or harness. A properly fitted martingale collar would prevent any escape and ensure their safety. -Is your dog shy or skittish in general? If so then I'd avoid high traffic or high construction areas. I don't want to stress out a dog that is already anxious from being away from their owner and with a new person. -The energy level of your dog Because depending on their energy I'd adjust the pace of the walk or the length of playtime. -Any allergies your dog has So that I know what treats are appropriate, if any. -How well trained your dog is Because I need to know what to expect for my safety. -What rules or training must your dog follow? Because I want to help you enforce any training while you are away. -Does your dog have any medical conditions or medications? Because I want to ensure their safety and provide an appropriate walk or sitting. -Can we conduct an initial meeting before any services? This way your pet has met me and will not be as stressed or confused upon the beginning of the service(s).
