I truly believe that our pets are just like our babies. Nothing makes us pet owners happier than knowing our fur babies are happy and nothing makes us sadder when they are not doing well.
I have had taken care of animals all my life since childhood. Starting with hamsters, terrapins, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and yes, of course, dogs.
I have a basic dog grooming certificate and a WSQ certificate in Pet Care and Management (Companion Animals). I took up these courses because it seemed necessary in understanding further on how to care for our fur babies better.
I used to manage a pet-friendly restaurant where I met and cared for different fur friends. Ranging from birds, to snakes (go figure haha) to yes, dogs. Some of the photos in the gallery are from my days at the restaurant. The fur parents kept coming back to the restaurant, becoming regulars because yes, their fur kids loved the place so much. I left my position there to pursue full time studies.
During this time, I had a senior dog, beloved Asha, who has passed on since then. The girl loved long walks and always perked up at the smell of curry, so during shower and nail cutting time, dog-safe curry was made especially for her. A treat just for being the good girl that she was.
After she crossed the rainbow bridge, the house seemed empty and so I volunteered for Save our Singapore Dogs. I fostered a 15 year old palliative care dog who happened to have a battery of issues so it is round the clock (and I do mean round the clock) care for him. His last days were spent listening to music which I learned within the short period he was with me, he loved. Going for short walks (old dude tire out easily), and getting lotsa massages to alleviate his muscle and joint discomfort.
He happened to be blind too and I have had experience with special needs dogs before so I could carter to him. Small things like physical markers, verbal cues etc helped make his days easier and happier.
My windows are fitted with grills that meet Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) guidelines and the living room has ample floorspace for furkids to lounge around/play at. There are also traffic free parks nearby (the parks are not on the street level) where furkids can have fun sniffing around and exploring.
Regular updates (every 3 hours or so) will be given via photos and videos and of course, a checklist of how they've been eating, drinking, what they have been doing, their general disposition etc.
I work from home with certain days spent out during meetings (but these are scheduled atleast two weeks prior).
Please feel free to contact me for any questions. Every furkid is different so arrangements can be made to accomodate your special, precious ones.
