I have tons of experience from raising my own animals and helping my friends and family with their pets. I raised a wonderful, EXTREMELY spoiled, golden retriever to the age of 13. He has since passed on to his next life and I really miss the companionship and the unconditional love he gave me. Coming home from work was my favorite time a day because I knew my dog was waiting excitedly behind the door to greet me happily! Since then I have been wanting to help others with their beloved pets. My golden retriever, Dakota, unfortunately had some health issues towards the last 5 years of his life but I did everything I could to keep him healthy, comfortable, and happy. Which including taking the time to cook him healthy meals, administered medications, took him swimming A LOT when his joints were too bad for him to walk. And most importantly gave him lots of time, affection, and love. I am willing to go above and beyond for your pet needs as well. I no longer have a pet of my own so I can give endless time to your beloved pet. I can provide you with multiple references of the people that I have pet/house sat for in the past. I have administered medication to pets and in one instance I had to administer insulin to an older dog twice a day. I would also be more than happy to meet you in person, so you can ask me questions and you can get an idea if I would be a good fit for your family and for your beloved pets.
