As someone who has owned a pet for years, I understand the importance of finding someone who will take care of your pet like their own! I've owned mainly larger dogs over the years, but have helped friends take care of their pets, from small to big! I love taking my own dog to the dog park, reservoir, or just around the neighborhood, and I am willing to do the same with yours! I've also had experience with administering oral medications, including special needs dogs (for example: I've taken care of a paraplegic dog, who required frequent diaper changes, medication, and of course play time!). As far as cat lovers, I've never owned one, however I've had plenty of roommates who have had a cat or two, and I've helped friends with their cats when they are out of town! Either way, I love animals of all sizes, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours, the same way I care for mine!
