About: I“Il make it a priority to give every dog the care they need to stay happy and healthy. From following their feeding and exercise routines to giving plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I’m available on weekends all day, and on weekdays I can take care of your pet after 3:30 PM. I start work at 6:30 AM, but if you need me in the mornings, I can be available then too. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! I always maintain a healthy food amount for both the dogs and cats and regularly walk the dog on a consistent schedule. The litter box remains clean at all times as well. Vacuuming to clean hair and regularly cleaning the home is involved as well.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for my 4 year old dog, Mr. Peanutbutter, and I occasionally look after my mother's 2 year old dog, Smokey. Mr. Peanutbutter requires regular grooming, exercise, and a healthy regular diet. I make sure he receives 2 daily walks, and plenty of play time. I also manage his feeding schedule and monitor his overall well being through regular vet checkups and grooming appointments. When I look after Smokey, I ensure he is well fed, gets plenty of physical activity, and enjoys interactive playtime. Smokey's energetic nature means I focus on providing him with enough exercise and mental challenges to prevent boredom. I'm used to managing the different needs of both dogs, making sure they receive the attention and care they require to stay happy and healthy. I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog's needs. I personally take my dog on a walk once when I wake up and again in the evening depending on the weather and have the flexible schedule to adapt to different needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.

Throughout my time in school and before I have been working with a variety of animals such as seals, raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, etc. My father currently owns a ranch and I help with the animal care there. My life is very animal-centered and all I care is to ensure their safety and well-being. I am currently free all weekdays and sometimes on the weekends. So I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. Each pet is different and upon first interactions I try to learn their energy levels, how often they need attention, and understanding their body language. From there, I create a schedule that makes the dog most comfortable and content.
