I'm Glynnis, and I live with my dog, Rufus, in Chester/Swarthmore. I know how frustrating it can be trying to find a caretaker for your dog- we've all been there before! Your dog will be in good hands as he/she enjoys a vacation at my house- my own dog is incredibly social, and the neighborhood is extremely walkable with parks nearby- I frequently visit state parks as well for those really nice long walks. In addition to ensuring your dog is safe, I care for dogs who have medical issues, both chronic and acute, I have 6+ years medical experience as an LPN, and am able to easily administer meds- oral, subcutaneous or IM injections and insulin. I also offer complimentary bathing for dogs staying 3+ days! I've raised over a dozen dogs, from birth to beyond, and love providing safe, fun, and reliable care for your loved animals. I have worked in health care for a decade, and am skilled in providing interim medical care for your dog/cat if needed- I have cared for dogs with diabetes, Addisons, cancer, seizure disorders, and aggression issues. I'm always available for check ins, skype calls, and providing regular updates for long trips as needed. From the time I could barely crawl until today, I have been surrounded by animals. Dogs of all shapes and sizes, cats, snakes, lizards, and birds are all friends to me. I have guided my bearded collie through agility training, my terrier mixes through neighborhood walks, my dog-like cats on leashes, and now my cockapoo pup as a therapy dog. The animals who have shared their lives with me have taught me many lessons, and love helping others find peace of mind with their own friends. I live less than 2 minutes walk from a large park, and within a short drive of a multitude of dog-friendly places. I would love to welcome your dog in my home.
