In my hometown of Hickory NC, I work at a lodge and spa which has grooming, daycare, and boarding for dogs and cats. This job has given me so much experience with being able to interact with all different types of dogs outside at daycare and being able to teach them skills and how to interact well with other dogs. I also gained experience working in boarding by reading instructions from the owners of how much food to give there dog and any specific way they need to be given it. I have not personally given dogs medicine but I have watched it happen and helped make the dog comfortable when it has happened and am willing to learn how to do it! I have seen a lot and experienced a lot at this lodge and spa with dogs so I am confident that I can be a good sitter. I will be back in Boone NC August 10th as I am moving into my apartment for the school year. I will be a junior at Appalachian State this year. As of right now I am looking for a part-time job but do not have one at the moment and might not get one if I have a set schedule with pet sitting. With the corona virus my classes will mostly be online with some required zoom meetings on certain days so I am going to be pretty flexible. I will be living in an apartment where animals are allowed but I have to pay a pet fee so I do not think I will be able to watch your animal and have it stay with me.
