I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and I currently have two cats of my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes as my family has had dogs ranging from chihuahuas to a Saint Bernard! I have experience with kitties ranging from extra-cuddly-love-bug all the way to grumpy-don’t-want-to-be-touched-or-looked-at types. I absolutely love spending time with dogs of any breed (going to the dog park is as much a "treat" for me as it is for pups!), and enjoying walks whether it be in sunshine or the Seattle rain! I'd say the only stipulation as far as large sized dogs go is, if your pal is very large and actively in charge, I may have to decline. I am fairly strong, but there's only so much I can do if your dog is heavier than I am! I am both cat and dog friendly, and enjoy both immensely! That being said, my animal passion does lean heavier on the cat side. I have two cats of my own, so I am very familiar with feline antics including (but not limited to) flea medication administration, subcutaneous fluid administration, teeth brushing, oral medication administration, and nail trims :) I love meeting new kitties and would definitely say I enjoy every purrsonality :) I will shower them with the same love and devotion I would a dog... unless they’d rather me keep to myself :) Cats can be, well... cats! I worked at an emergency veterinary clinic for 8 months, so I've had hands on experience with gentle restraint if need be, as well as being very familiar with any emergency warning signs, pilling, and subcutaneous fluid administration. I am willing to care for dogs big and small, and would very much love the chance to meet and connect with you and your beloved fur baby! I also recently worked at Mudbay for two years, so I am familiar with most harnesses, leashes, foods, and treats carried in the store. I am currently a veterinary assistant at a cat-specific clinic, so I have resources and helpful knowledge at my disposal if the need arises with cat-sitting clients. I am just as thorough with you and your pet as I would be with my own (I am very particular), so I will update you often and with detailed information. Thank you for taking the time to read this far, and I hope I can be a good fit for you and your pets!
