I've grown up as a big animal lover who deep dives into care for any animal they take on. I've had cats, rabbits, a dog, and even horses. I was that kid growing up, the one who wanted a zoo. In the last few years, I've felt fortunate enough to be able to be a good samitarian and help some lost pets (a roaming domestic bunny and two loose dogs running around the street). I've even worked in a retail pet store with exposure to different brands and products. I'm actually looking into going back to school to become a vet tech! I currently have one almost 3 year old small dog. Her name is Zoe and she's a shih tzu x yorkie mix. I have taken some basic dog training classes with her and she loves to spend time in her fenced in backyard. She's also been known to love a good long 7.5km walk if she's feeling up to it! She is very friendly with people and other pets but can be nervous. I can discuss care at my place on a case by case basis but there would be limitations as she would need to feel comfortable and uncompromised in her space. I'm just looking to spend more time doing what I love most, taking care of and hanging out with animals. I will come to your home to check in on your pet, provide some basic care (feeding, brushing, play time, oral mediation), and provide some love. I can take your dog on a walk for some exercise and socialization or just hang out inside if that's what they need. Walks can average about 30 minutes but it really depends on the specific dog (Zoe's record was 10km in one!). I will only commit to one household at a time (that could be one dog or three as long as they are from the same place). In terms of availability, I work a full time, Monday to Friday, 8-4 job but I work from home so I have consistency. I don't have to factor in commute to and from work when considering my availability. As such, I am most available evenings and weekends all day! I am also available during all holiday seasons and actually prefer to be out and about!
