Large and small dogs have always been apart of my household, so caring for them is like second nature to me. Being around dogs day and night has provided me with experience of caring for them through everyday situations that may occur. I have my own dog, who I love very much. She is healthy and happy at age 14. I am able to adapt to the dogs energy, from walking to running them. I have experience helping older dogs with arthritis in and out of cars, and up and down stairs, administering oral medications, and bathing. I love all dogs, and will strive to provide safe and clean surroundings and situations for them. I understand that dogs are not just a pet but a loved member of our families.
