Animal Shelter Volunteer & ❤️ Dogs

𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: I’ve cared for my own dog for 3 years who had pica and epilepsy. I’m experienced with giving medications, staying calm during seizures, and keeping a close eye on their safety. 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲: I’ve handled cleaning up after seizures and occasional throw-ups, making sure everything is safe and comfortable for them. 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 & 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭: I also volunteered at a dog shelter for a few years and currently care for another dog as well. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for animals with different needs.

I've seen my sister care for our family dogs for years. Our first dog had epilepsy and pica, so he needed a lot of extra care. She helped with medications, cleaned up after him, and made sure he was always safe. With our current dog, she’s takes care of things like walks, feeding, and giving her lots of attention. She genuinely loves animals and is patient, responsible, and dependable. She is a very friendly person and would make a great pet-sitter!

Before watching a pet, it is important to me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, favorite activities, and how they behave around people or other animals.
