🐾 I am a lifelong animal lover with experience around many different breeds. In the past I have worked in a veterinary office kennel that boarded cats and dogs of all sizes. I was responsible for feeding, walking, supervising potty breaks in the yard, keeping kennels clean, playing with the animals, and administering medications including pills and insulin injections. I have a talent for gaining the trust of timid dogs. 🩼 I also have experience with special needs and senior dogs and cats. In particular, my own beloved French Bulldog, Frankie (who we just lost in June) suffered from IVDD including back-end paralysis and double incontinence. I am comfortable using dog diapers, expressing bladders, employing some techniques to induce bowel movements if necessary, and even doing physical therapy exercises with dogs at home. 🐶🐶 We currently have a senior Goldendoodle and a young Shih Tzu mix, who I found on the street and ended up taking in permanently. Both of our boys have had leash aggression and reactivity towards other dogs in the past, and we’ve worked with trainers to mitigate that, so I have experience in these scenarios as well including walking reactive dogs in populated areas. 🎾🐕‍🦺🐈 I’m happy to cater to your pet’s individual needs and preferences whether that be a long walk, a fun-filled play session, or just snuggling on the couch and some company. I can’t wait to help you care for your furry friend! 🐱🐶🐾
