Hello Colorado! I have been working with dogs for over 16 years, and training them professionally for 14. I have also worked in the small animal industry for 15 years. I am comfortable with all companion animals and all dogs big or small! I am certified in small animal first aid and CPR, I have 5 years background working in the veterinary field as well as in the grooming industry also. I two years working locally at a small pet store as a Amateur Dog Nutritionist. I was a professional dog trainer for over 14 years and have a great understanding of dog body language and their needs so your pet is sure to be constantly happy and understood when in my care! I love giving dogs the chance to go back to "their roots" by exercising them and mentally engaging them through training and fun games! Certified Pet First Aid & CPR Veterinary Assistant Diploma Certified Dog Trainer Professional Member of APDT Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs and all animals ever since I was a little girl. I used to rescue all the strays in our neighborhood and started volunteering at the age of 12 at our local animal shelter. I went to college and received my veterinary assistant diploma and worked for 5 years in day veterinary clinics and an emergency clinic on the overnight shift. Throughout the last 15 years of my life I have moved a lot and gotten to work in many different industries working with dogs such as, veterinary, grooming, boarding facilities, training and pet boutiques. My experience administering medication Yes! With my 5 years experience working in the veterinary field I would say I'm pretty capable of doing that :)
