I have been in the pet industry for over 10 years. I can administer medications if necessary and can provide a quiet room or the run of the house along side my dogs. I have experience caring for older dogs and dogs with special needs. A crate trained dog is not necessary. I will crate your dog if you do so at home, so that the continuity of your crate training stays in place. I have worked in a Veterinary hospital, managed a boarding and day care facility and am a certified trainer of basic obedience. I have been certified by the American Red Cross in Pet CPR and first aid. I do require proof of current vaccines for your dogs protection in public areas.
