About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.
About: I've volunteered at an animal shelter and a zoo working with all types of animals. I was a dog handler at a dog daycare for 2 years where I learned how to understand dog body language and healthy dog play. I also helped with in-home pet care while working at the dog daycare. I have a reactive 12 year old mutt (Victor) that I adore so much. He has been my family's most rewarding and challenging dog yet, and he has improved on handling his emotions after I started learning about positive reinforcement through my dog daycare job. I have pet sat for friends and family and look forward to meeting your dogs and cats too! I am available this winter! Feel free to message me and I can check my calendar! I'd love to meet you and your pets. 🐶 Full-time pet sitter/dog walker 🐱 For my reactive dog, I play music and use baby gates to block windows he usually barks out of before I leave the house. This keeps him more comfortable and calm while I'm away. In pet owner's homes, I make sure to follow instructions and give pets, treats, and play time before I leave.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life because I grew up on a farm and my mother is a teacher with classroom pets! I have two kitties and a hedgehog! I’ve taken care of everything from cats, dogs, rats, bunnies, reptiles and more! I have a full time job but I still have plenty of time on my hands! I would love to invest my time into caring for your pet(s) when your life gets a little too crazy! I have a large yard, unfortunately with no fence, but we’d be able to use it anytime.
