My history with animals starts at birth- I have owned cats and dogs all growing up! At 19 years old I got a cat of my own (and of course that lead to me getting another lol). At 20 years old I started working for professional pet sitting business that I worked at for 6 years! I do have 2 cats and pug and a 2 year old boy at the home, as well. Your animal MUST be ok with children!! I live in a single family home with a fenced backyard and no pool. My knowledge of animals is pretty vast. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, all kinds of birds, rodents, fish, reptiles. You name it! I am very familiar with animal behavior- I can spot of an animal isn't feeling well and might need medical attention. I can administer any type of medication, as well. I have experience with IV sub q fluids, manually pilling, liquid meds, IV meds (insulin) and topical medication. I am extremely comfortable dealing with any kind of medication and an animal with any kind of medical problems. I am also comfortable with geriatric animals and the special care they need :)
