Care 4 ur buddy while your away

Pet care experience

My love for furr buddies and animals started at a very young age. I've always been the type of person who sees a helpless animal and goes far out of their way to try to get that animal back on their feet. Things I am known for doing are finding stray cats and dogs and helping them find their owners or bringing them to a no-kill shelter so they can have a 2nd chance, finding hurt yellow-spotted salamanders and healing them over the winter to release them back in the wild, stopping on high ways and busy intersections safely to help a turtle or lost duckling, and the list continues. When I was 16 I worked on an animal sanctuary for 3 years. The animal sanctuary was a place that when people had an animal they could no longer keep, whether it be behavioral, old age, medical conditions ext, they could bring their fur buddy to this sanctuary to stay and be cared for for the duration of its life. In the sanctuary, there were over 115 dogs, 85 cats, around 15 birds, a goat, and a tortuous all of which have designated areas to live comfortably no matter their special need. My daily job duties ranged from normal care and environment matentace, medications including medicated baths, and analyzing the animal's overall well being. I loved every piece of that job and would like the opportunity to care for people's fur buddies again. I also have a diabetic cat, so I know how to test the blood glucose levels, and give injections. I do keep my cats separated and locked in my very large basement for everyone's safety and comfortability. I understand from experience how much your fur buddy means and I take care of all animals that come past me as they are my own! currently working remote so i am home ALOT!!! I usually take dogs on walks every 4 hours and as i see signs if they need to go out. I also have a diabetic cat, so I know how to test the blood glucose levels, and give injections. I do keep my cats separated and locked in my very large basement for everyone's safety and comfortability. I take dogs out in the AM when i wake up at about 8 then feed and make sure they have fresh water. after a couple of hours, I take the dogs back out mid-day. all my walks are about 45 min long and then i go on another walk before feeding them dinner and at about 8pm is the last walk before bed. I dont have a fenced yard and i dont tie dogs up. I always play it safe with others loved ones as that is what i would want.

Amanda did a fabulous job with my Rems! He got great walks while I was out of town. She sent pictures, and there was even a tracking device to show where they went.
