Human society voluteer

Pet care experience

I am a experienced dog care giver and have worked at the human society and for wildlife rehabilitation centers. My timing is flexible and I can often keep your dog for a longer time if there are plans involved. I am willing to come to your house to walk and check on your dog or take your dog for a say in my apartment. I am flexible and will work with students and budgets especially for students on the CUMC campus. I am a graduate student who is on summer break and I have good availability and am reliable. I am finishing my degree at the college of physicians and surgeons. I know basic training that I have learned from the humane society. I grew up around dogs and have worked with corgi's to pitbulls. I'm versatile and can work with pets with some special needs.

Information Trisha G. would like to know about your pet

No But I will not sit dogs that have a history of violence against people. Like multiple bite records or whom are guard dogs and are very possessive and unfriendly. Or whom are overly aggressive and may be guarders to the point of biting. Honestly, this has to be assessed one on one. Every dog is different. And great dogs can just not like certain people because of negative experiences. I understand some dogs do not like children or have a high prey drive or are not good with other dogs. We live in a city full of triggering this. If this an extreme issue for your pet, I may suggest that I engage in fetch indoors or find a place where your dog is safe. I always prefer to be safe rather than sorry. I also think that dogs who can be anxious should have as many of their toys with them, and should be left with something that smells like you and is reassuring to them. I believe in thundershirts for some dogs.

A typical day

I like to go on walks hear Riverside Park. They have a dog park area there. If your dog is friendly and likes other dogs I could take them there. I do run and am willing to do that and I have had requests for owners to use weight packs to help dogs get our energy. I also do senior pets and can chill on the couch and do some grooming and give unconditional love.
