MICHAEL

The first pet I ever adopted was a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, I named Maria. I was gifted a gem of a being that conquered my fears and misconceptions of animals and cultivated a passion for pets until this day.

I have been pet sitting and fostering pets for 12 years with great enthusiasm. It is my goal to provide a pet care, training, and boarding centre for my community in the future, but before then, help me start my foundations.

I love to care for felines and canines of all ages, mental capacities, abilities and sizes. I offer pet walks, overnight boarding, and make home visits if needed. I can pick your dog up if you live in my area. I have experience providing medication to pets and in the process of learning pet CPR techniques.

I have the ability to interpret and respond to various behaviors exhibited by different pets, recognizing signs of distress or joy. Remaining composed in challenging situations has been an asset for me, as pets may have unique needs or unexpected behaviors. These are situations I feel most confident in.

Stamina and physical fitness are essential to your pets needs, especially for walking dogs, playing with cats, or engaging in activities with energetic pets. I will allocate time for play to ensure they remain healthy during their stay.

I believe that clear and effective communication with pet parents is a crucial component of pet care, ensuring I understand your expectations and provide you updates on your pet's well-being.

I have the experience of juggling the needs of multiple pets, adhering to feeding schedules, and allocating time for play and exercise.

You can count on my problem solving abilities. I capable of quick thinking and the adaptability to handle unexpected situations, such as your pet getting sick or escaping from a leash. I have a great attention to detail. I notice subtle changes in a pet's behavior, eating habits, or overall health can be crucial for early detection of potential issues and will report any unexpected changes to you.

Understanding and respecting the individual preferences and boundaries of each pet is essential to fostering good relationships between me and the pet and you, the pet parent. I want to ensure a positive and stress-free experience. Building trust with my clients by consistently following instructions and maintaining a reliable schedule is my top priority.

I will always have a plan in case of emergencies, knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and having contact information for pet parents. Familiarity with specific needs, temperaments, and characteristics of various pet breeds has been an important factor in my pet care success.

The great thing is I work from home so I can be with your pet for as much time as they need. I currently live in a large two bedroom apartment. I have great space for your pet and will take them out frequently to stretch their limbs. It would be a pleasure to pet sit for you. 😻

These skills contribute to providing a safe, enjoyable, and nurturing environment for the pets under my care. I can assure you that they have been successfully effective in my home.
