About: Hi! My name is Mia. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dogs; being able to love and take care of my three munchkins is one of my favorite parts of being alive. That being said, half of my heart will always be with animals. I grew up in an incredibly dog-loving family. We unfortunately never had any cats, but I have assuredly tried to change that; unsuccessfully :( From a very young age, I was constantly put in charge of keeping an eye on my dogs while my family was out or had company over. I realized I didn’t mind at all! I currently have three pups! My senior Lab mix, Oreo; a Cavapoo, named Charlie; and a Cockapoo, named Benny. I won't be shy to repeat how much love and joy these dogs give me every day. Since being the token dog-babysitter all my life, my family encouraged me to find a job at my local doggy daycare. I had always admired how much thought and detail they put into their business, and was excited for the opportunity to be surrounded by animals all day, MY DREAM! I ended up being very disappointed, however. It turns out my version of pet care didn’t exactly align with theirs. Since there are SO many animals in that facility, they did everything in a very one-size-fits-all manner. 4 walks a day, feeding, group playtime, next dog. In theory, that was an honorable system with that many dogs in one building. However, I had always wanted to go dog by dog, get to know them, sit in their kennel with them, and take my time. I wasn’t always able to do that due to the system already put in place. I realized each and every animal are so incredibly different and fluid in their own way. They require different things, have different habits, like things a certain way, and have different backgrounds and preferred environments. For example: my dog, Benny, was rescued from a foster family that takes in animals that are up for euthanization. We aren’t fully sure of what Benny’s life was like before that, but we know he was tossed around to households that didn’t treat him the best. This makes him the extremely reactive dog he is today. It is very frustrating to have a pet who attempts to bite every single stranger that he doesn’t know very well, but that makes it all the more worth it. To know that we are able to be that safe, loving family for him; To know that we are working on his anxiety towards new people in the most gentle way possible, like so many other families have failed to do. All of this to say I like to take my time with all puppies and have lots of experience with reactive/senior pets! I prefer to get to know them, adhere to their routine, likes and dislikes, and make sure my care is at the utmost quality as they’d like it. I have fortunately reclaimed my token-dog-babysitter title and have been able to take care of many of my friends’ and family's pets for weeks/days at a time, and would love to do the same with yours! Also PS: I do not require any pet sitters myself, so the “My Pets” tab is empty. All of my babies are in my “Photos” tab. I am currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty much limited to Friday-Sunday for long term care. Along with another part-time job. However, my schedule varies week to week, so if there is any point where you would need care during weekdays, I am completely open to coming up with a solid plan and schedule. I much prefer to go to the clients home, since my three pups don't exactly love the extra company. However, I am very meticulous with the way I treat other peoples spaces and animals, as I have mentioned before. I would not like anyone coming into my home, and not honoring it the way I see fit. I also have a very OCD system, where I ensure everything is clean and where it should be before I leave. Again, this is your home and your system, there is no reason it should be disrupted. All that being said, your pet is my #1 priority. After reading my "get to know me," I am sure you are very familiar with my method and how much time I like to take with animals. I also realize it would be really hard to explain my own dogs specific routine to anyone else, but I WANT YOU TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE! If they will only take medication every night with a certain flavor of pill pocket, or only can be hand-fed their breakfast/dinner; I want to know it all!

“Gina has a really relaxed personality, which works well with my dog who has anxiety. She warmed up quickly to Gina and seems very comfortable around her. I really love how responsive Gina is. She reached out the day of to confirm the walk and always responds to texts quickly. She’s very respectful of the house and even took her shoes off without asking which I thought was pretty impressive. Overall she has good energy and is definitely a dog person.”

About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

Daniel does an Awesome with my Doberman that other dog walkers refuse to walk because they find him scary. He does a great job with understanding psychology of larger breed dogs and has courage. My Corgi I could find a dog walker for her that will do it for free but my Doberman can be a challenge. Animal trainers know that Dobermans are big babies and not everyone is qualified to do this job even if someone thinks it's a simple task.Wish dog walkers would have training in this area or expertise before they sign themselves up for this. After all everyone can walk a poodle but not every dog is a poodle.
