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 Daycare Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet daycare provider so your furry friend gets the best care while you’re away.

1. Check Experience with Your Pet Type

Ask about their background caring for dogs, cats, or other pets. Make sure they understand breed-specific needs, temperaments, and behaviors.

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, animal handling training, or professional memberships in pet care associations.

3. Tour the Facility or Home

Visit the daycare space to check for cleanliness, safety measures, secure fencing, and pet-friendly areas.

4. Ask About Daily Routine

Find out what a typical day looks like—exercise, playtime, feeding, rest, and socialization opportunities.

5. Understand Supervision Levels

Confirm how many pets they care for at once and whether constant supervision is provided, especially during group play.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Ask about vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency plans, and how illnesses or injuries are handled.

7. Check References & Reviews

Speak with past or current clients, and ask for customer reviews to ensure reliability and positive experiences.

8. Clarify Communication

Ask how they’ll keep you updated—daily texts, photos, or reports—so you know your pet is happy and safe.

9. Discuss Rates & Inclusions

Make sure you understand the cost, what’s included (walks, grooming, food), and if there are extra fees for late pickup or special care.

10. Do a Trial Day

Start with a short daycare session to see how your pet adjusts, and gauge the provider’s attentiveness and professionalism.
