Hello everyone! My name is Aaron, and I provide overnight pet/house sitting for dogs and cats while you are away! My services include feeding, walking, petting, medicating (if necessary), and playing with your pets. I will also water plants, gather mail/newspaper, take out garbage, and give your home the "lived in" look while you are away! I am an insured/bonded pet sitter through Pet Sitters Associates, Inc who has been in the veterinary field for 11 years! I have references available upon request. Please contact me if you have any questions or are interested in my services! Thank you! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog (a chocolate Lab puppy) for my 7th birthday. She proceeded to have two litters of puppies. We adopted out most of the puppies. We kept one of the daughters. Those two Labs and I pretty much grew up together. After college, I got a job at the Washington Humane Society as an Animal Caretaker and Behavior Evaluator. I learned much about dog breeds and behavior while working there. Five years later, I got a job at a veterinary clinic as a Veterinary Technician where I assist with the medical care of dogs and cats. That is my present job. I currently have a 8 year old beagle/husky mix named Buttons. My experience administering medication Yes, I have been in the veterinary field for 11 years. I am comfortable with administering medication orally, subcutaneously, and transdermally. I have extensive knowledge of common diseases and their medications, such as diabetes and thyroid diseases.
