I have had dogs all my life and have often pet-sit for friends and family. I am able to pet-sit an animal in my home overnight or tend to an animal in your home, depending on your location. I have animal training experience and have been employed as a marine mammal trainer in the past. My dog was part of my family, he was allowed on the couch when I invited him up and he slept with me every night. However, I would respect the wishes of the pet owner if they would prefer that I don't let their pet on the furniture. I had a pet with allergies and anxiety issues so I have lots of practice dealing with pets that require medication and extra care/attention. He lived to be 13 years old so I have senior-dog experience as well. I look forward to helping you with your pet care needs, I love animals!
