Doggy Day Care in Proctor

About: Passionate Dog Trainer/Walker Ready to go on Adventures Hello there! My name is Zoro, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your friendly neighborhood dog trainer/walker. With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together. With an innate understanding of canine behavior, I am adept at tailoring my approach to cater to the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter. Whether it's a high-energy pooch who craves a vigorous run in the park or a more mellow companion who prefers a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I am committed to providing a customized experience that leaves their tail wagging with joy. Safety is my top priority, and you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable hands under my care. I am well-versed in canine first aid and CPR, and I maintain a keen eye for potential hazards during our outings. I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have. Your dog's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure their needs are met. So, if you're searching for a dog walker who combines boundless enthusiasm, unwavering dedication, and a genuine love for dogs, look no further! Let's join forces and embark on a tail-wagging adventure together. Contact me today, and let's schedule a meet-and-greet to see if I'm the perfect fit for your four-legged friend. Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.

“Sherri was very professional and an awesome Fur Baby care taker. I felt very at ease leaving my Fur child with her. Wazi has a great time and I will definitely use her again !”

“Thanks to Morgan for her flexibility, knowledge, and attention to detail with the special needs of my brand new puppy, and my irregular work hours! Thanks to her kiddo for giving her so much love. Though the house and yard could benefit from a touch up to make things feel a little cleaner and brighter, it wasn’t really “messy or dirty,” as the River app puts it. I was more than satisfied with the stay, and may call back later for info about training or classes. Much appreciation for everything.”

“Shauna was the best sitter we could’ve asked for! It was our first time using a pet sitter and she immediately put all of our worries aside! Shauna was quick to communicate leading up to the day and sent updates and pictures all throughout our stay. Her large yard is fenced in, grassy, clean, and has plenty of shade. Our dogs seemed like they had a great time and got along great with her dogs. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough! She was even very flexible with extending the day when we got held up in Glacier due to delayed shuttles. I will definitely go back to Shauna next time I’m in the area!”

“Riley was great with our lab George while we explored the area for the day! She was wonderful to be flexible last minute when we realized I booked the wrong day! Will use again!”

“I always receive pictures and updates during the day. The girls do not act anxious after pickup. Shannon and her family always welcome them with loving hugs and snuggles. I would give Shannon a 10 out of 10 if I could.”

“Olivia and her family were great! Kona loved being at their house and was happy when we left. We will definitely use Olivia in future trips to Kalispell. Thank you!”

“Tiffany took wonderful care of Dixie and Smokey for the day while we went into the park! She was great with communication beforehand and throughout the day and flexible with drop off/pick up times! She exercised the girls multiple times and sent lots of pictures throughout the day! 5+ ⭐️”

“Madison and her pups were amazing and so sweet to our border collie, Nyko. We booked super duper last minute because we weren't able to take Nyko with us to Wild Horse Island. Madison was super flexible and accommodating with our schedule, and sent us photos of Nyko and his new friends to keep us updated. We HIGHLY recommend and will be back the next time we're in town and need a doggy sitter.”

About: I've had pets my whole life and have taken care of them from an early age. I love all animals and believe they deserve a comforting experience if their owner is gone. I am a mom of 2 school aged kids. I am home daily to care for my animals and others. I'm also very active and will welcome any walk or run for your dog. I treat other pets as my own. We are outside a lot enjoying our 5 acres, and access to open space. Exercise is my staple for a happy dog!
