I have lots of experience with senior animals, cats and dogs, although I am confortable with any aged animal! My Staffordshire terrier mix recently passed away at 15yo. He had difficulty getting up on his own, required to be carried up stairs, needed medication on a regular basis, etc. If your pet has special needs I have no problem adhering to your requests! Each dog and cat is unique (like us humans) I believe you must pay attention to their body language and personality to ensure the best care. I have a masters degree in medical biology, and currently am a stay at home mom to a 2.5 yo! I am CPR certified and first aide certified, and am able to give injections. Many of these skills are applicable to our furry friends as well! I love animals, and I'd love to spend some time with yours! I respect everyone's home and belongings, I understand your home is a private and sacred place. I will ensure to follow your instructions on entering and exiting your home, and ensure your furry friend is safe and taken care of! Have a finicky door handle? No problem! I'll ensure its locked securely before leaving. Does your doggo try to run out the door when opened? Dont worry! I'll make sure he/she is safe and doesn't get out unaccompanied!
