Pet lover willing to help!

Hello! For dog care experience, I have pet sit multiple dogs for their owners while on vacation. After the week, the owners were happy and appreciative! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of different sizes and ages, knowing how to care to their specific needs. I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my two dogs and home and they are very loved. I’ve spent time and cared for dogs and my own space, and at the pet owners place. Later each service from the pet owners was requested again. I also find the importance in messaging and talking to the pet owners and building that trust. I have a four year background in childcare, which can be an asset in caring for your pet. Within this position, I provided dependable childcare services for families across my community.

I also have a four year background in childcare, which can be an asset in caring for your pet. Within this position, I provided dependable childcare services for families across my community. Through that I built trust through family friends and long term client relationships. I cared for children of various ages, creating a safe and engaging environment through structured activities. I worked well with utilizing problem-solving skills while incorporating basic first aid knowledge to ensure child safety and trust. This can also correlate into taking care of dogs, as having the skill of attentiveness is important for each responsibility. Additionally, I maintained consistent, strong, open communication with parents. That way it is ensured that their expectations are met, and they understand their child’s development progress and behaviour. I also find the importance in messaging and talking to the pet owners and building that trust.
If you would like any more information please message me with details, thank you.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Boarding Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet boarding provider perfect for ensuring your furry family member is safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

1. Check Their Experience

Ask how long they’ve been boarding pets and what kinds of animals they specialize in (dogs, cats, exotics).

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for credentials in pet CPR/first aid, animal behavior, or relevant pet care associations.

3. Tour the Boarding Environment

Visit their home or facility to confirm it’s clean, safe, and pet-friendly with secure fencing, proper ventilation, and comfortable spaces.

4. Ask About Daily Care & Routine

Understand how often pets are fed, walked, played with, and allowed outside.

5. Clarify Supervision Levels

Find out if pets are supervised overnight, how often they’re checked on, and how many pets are boarded at once.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Confirm vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency protocols, and how illness or injuries are handled.

7. Discuss Special Needs Care

Ask if they can handle pets with medical conditions, medications, dietary needs, or anxiety.

8. Check References & Reviews

Read testimonials or speak with past clients to verify reliability and quality of care.

9. Understand Communication Style

Ask if they’ll provide daily updates, photos, or videos while you’re away for peace of mind.

Book an overnight trial to see how your pet adjusts and how attentive the provider is before committing to a longer trip.
