Pet care, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and grooming, should be integrated into your daily and weekly routine to ensure your pet's well-being and happiness. Establishing a consistent schedule provides predictability and security for your pet, reducing stress and promoting healthy habits. Start the day with feeding, followed by a walk or playtime to expend energy and stimulate your pet. Incorporate short breaks for feeding, playtime, or a quick walk, especially if working from home. Dedicate time for a longer walk, play session, or quiet time for bonding and relaxation. Schedule daily or weekly grooming sessions, depending on your pet's breed and coat type. Maintain a regular feeding schedule to help regulate your pet's digestion and prevent accidents. Bathe your pet every few weeks or as needed. Brush your pet's teeth regularly. Incorporate playtime with toys and games to provide mental and physical stimulation. I Establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I Ensure the home environment is safe and suitable for the pet, free of hazards and with designated spaces for rest and play. I Provide appropriate, healthy food and fresh water at all times.

About: I’ve had a dog in the home since I was 8 years old, and since moving from my parents I’ve helped with caring for their current dog. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d have a dog myself. I love walks, and scooping poop doesn’t scare me! In my eyes, Dogs are members of the family. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. Pet care is more than just replacing water and feeding, it’s playtime, engagement and grooming as well. Maximizing the amount of time spent with animals is important, even if they are considered “low maintenance”. I am very affectionate with animals, and careful with how I speak/act around them. Animals are to be treated with care and respect. I am comfortable with letting dogs out to go to the bathroom/play, playing with them indoors and/or outdoors and walking them. I am able to feed animals, and provide treats. I am also able to follow instructions in regard to commands. With cats, I can feed them, play with them and change the litter box. I am also comfortable brushing animals, cleaning ears and administering most medications.

About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages! I have worked with small dogs including Tea Cup Yorkies and bigger dogs including Cane Corsos. Potty training puppies is no problem for me as I actually enjoy it! There's nothing sweeter than helping and watching puppies learn this whole life thing. I also foster kittens so I'm experienced to properly care for them as well. I am a full time college student so I make my own schedule. My dog and any pet in my care is not left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Walks are every 3-4 hours or as needed. If the weather is good, I live right across from campus so we go to there once a day to get some exercise and zoomies out. I have a friendly dog that loves the company of other dogs. My dog has free roam of the house but I do have a crate and gate to limit areas for roaming if necessary.
