Ive had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals. Ive also had birds, hamsters, turtles, fish, etc. Animals that come to my home are treated like part of the family. I do not do a boarding experience where theyre sitting in a kennel all day like a facility can do. They can sleep wherever they want, theyre well loved, theyre well exercised and well fed! I went through a program through Animal Behavioral College in CA. I was trained in veterinary assisting including Animal CPR, medication administration, de-escalating anxious animals, insulin administration, pet nutrition, and more The breeds of dogs I have the most familiarity and experience with are German shepherds, Australian shepherds, Labs, Pits, Huskies, American Eskimos or Samoyed/Spitz, Chihuahuas and Dachshunds! I am a stay at home mom, usually home. I have the time to do a lot of longer walks 3-5 times a day, and your pet is rarely al 1. For anxious pets, I keep calming treats and calming pherom 1 s on hand. I also baby them quite a bit, allowing them to sleep where I am and sit with/follow me everywhere. They get the extra attention and comfort they need. For high energy dogs, I make sure that energy is burned. Lots of fetch, much longer walks, sometimes we go to trails or dog parksif ok with owner. I also keep treat finding puzzle toys on hand, as well as other toys where they have to work for the treat to keep them actively stimulated. Did you know About 30 of your dogs brain is dedicated to scent? So for dogs that love to stop and sniff everything every 5 seconds, they are getting just as much mental stimulation and energy burning as doing an hour long walk without sniffing! Im never g 1 more than a couple hours when Im pet sitting. I do boarding at my home, house sittingfull overnight care in your home, or I can daysit in your home from 6 am to 9 pm and sleep at home, cleaning cat litterboxes, drop in care, petsmart runs for supplies, dog walks, and more Im a flexible person so feel free to contact me to arrange pet care! I have discounts available depending on the season or your situation. Longer term bookings can be discounted. For housesits, I make sure I leave the home in as clean a condition as possible. The yards have been scooped, litter boxes cleaned, floors are clean. If theres a garbage day that occurs during the visit I will make sure the cans make it to the street. I try to leave the home in the same condition as the first day or better. During caring for your pet you ALWAYS get at minimum 1-3 updates or pictures per day, but h 1 stly its lots more updates/pictures the first day or 2. This is so you know your family member is doing ok.
