Hi, my name is Ann, and I'd be happy to care for your pets in your absence, in your own home. For almost all of my life, I have had dogs or cats (and often both) who were family members to me. All were strays or rescues, and all had a home with me for the rest of their lives, in sickness and in health. In addition, I have dedicated my entire career to working with animals, specifically horses. Your pets are as important to you as mine have been to me. They are your family members, and the decision to put them in the care of others is never one you take lightly. I would like you to know that I am reliable and also kind. I am very dedicated to the well-being of all animals, be they mine or yours. I enjoy their company, and I am quite comfortable addressing any special needs they may have. Please call me; if for some reason you don't reach me immediately, you will receive a call back in short order. Thanks in advance for your consideration as a caretaker for your animals in your absence. I have been a long-time dog owner, and have taken care of friends' pets numerous times throughout the years. I am a very dependable dog and cat sitter, and will treat your pets as though they were my own! Until recently, I have always had a dog by my side, and have experience with many types of personalities and breeds. I am comfortable administering oral and subcutaneous medications, and am also willing to stay over at a client's house for their peace of mind. Why I love dog sitting I am a lifelong dog lover. While I was growing up in a family of six children, we always had a dog as a pet and as a babysitter. As an adult, I have always been blessed with amazing dogs that have been my best friends. All my pets have been strays or rescues; they hold a special place in my heart, and my life has been rich because of them. My experience administering medication Yes, I am more than willing to administer oral and subcutaneous medications. If clear instructions and an adequate supply of the medication is provided, medications do not pose any problem!
