I've pretty much grown up with pets my entire life and I've taken care of a variety of dogs & cats throughout the last 16 years. I've pet sat for family friends, co-workers, friends of friends, and even former bosses! I also used to be a nanny for a family with two kids and two dogs and frequently would take care of their dogs and the house over the summer each year (5 years). It was always the highlight of my summer spending time with the dogs and making sure they were happy and comfortable while their family was away! I have quite a lot of experience with dogs and cats that are skittish or just a little bit shy <3 I have owned dogs and cats for most of my life, and currently have a sweet cat named Pumpkin. One of my former dogs and cats were rescued from puppy mill and a unsafe home, then adopted by my family, so both of them had some behavior and/or health issues. so I am quite accustomed to being attentive and providing extra care and love to pets who may need just a little more extra care and support! I work with both puppies and much older dogs. I have also helped with giving pets their medication.
