I was raised with animals, our furry family members were part of the family before I came along into this world. I was 5 when my first dog passed, and we got a new puppy, Rio-- he was the first thing I ever loved (other than my parents, of course). I have cared for 7 dogs within my family, mulitple cats, and have cared for friend's dogs and animals while they were away. I grew up in a beach community, so I love the opportunity to take my pups for long walks-- they make the best companions. I have lived without pets in my home for the past 3 years, because our apartment does not allow them, but I would love to spend time with any furry friend that also needs the company. Other than caring for my own dogs, I have experience with long-term care of friend's dogs. I am comfortable with administering medication by mouth or in 'treat' form. I am familiar with dogs that have allergies and other health issues. I have raised dogs from puppydom, and am comfortable with maintaining a training schedule if needed. I love all animals, and would love to walk and care for your dog and other pets too. I am only available for walks and feeding. I live in Quincy, and will not always have the car-- therefore, clients within walking range of subway T stops are who I will respond to the quickest. Or if you are within walking/biking distance of my home. :)
