What I Do: I make scheduled visits to care for your pet(s) and home. My philosophy is that pets are more comfortable in their own homes while their parents are away for the day or on vacation. I do not take cats or dogs into my own home. Been there, done that,,didn't work!! I have, however taken in fish (yes, fish!) and birds.
More Info: I, basically, have two types of clients: Mid-day dog visits (M- F) and vacation people.
Cats: My cat customers usually request one visit/day while they are on vacation. Two visits/day is not uncommon, depending on medical or nutritional needs. While I'm there, I scoop, feed, play, brush and provide companionship. Whatever the customer request, I do it.
Dogs: Mid-day dog walks are my specialty. I have a route that I follow everyday. It is so cute to see my dog friends waiting and watching for my car to pull up in the driveway. They know they're going for a walk, having some fun and getting a treat before I leave. To their parents, its comforting to know that since they left for work at 6:30 am, their pooch has been out to relieve himself and exercised. I leave a note everyday to let them know what went on.
