Trips to the dog park are an option with this walk, depending on location About this sitter: I'm a casual, easy-going person who understands that I am lucky when I get an animal's approval, and I don't take that for granted. I can't be around animals and not want to interact with them. I genuinely enjoy their company and do my best to ensure they enjoy mine. Why I love pet sitting: I've been an animal lover all my life, and grew up with dogs and cats. I like any animal who decides he/she likes me. To me, they're all beautiful little youngsters who just want to be loved. My experience administering medication: I have interned in veterinary clinics and with wildlife rehabilitators, so I'm comfortable with giving oral, subcutaneous and topical medications, but I would need to discuss any instances of IV or suppository usage. My schedule is somewhat flexible, so I can usually move things around to fit my clients needs. I do, however, have my own pets at home, so I have to ensure a good work/life balance so everyone's needs get met. My main focus is always to get everyone's basic needs met first (food, medication, bathroom breaks), before anything else happens. Then we can focus on having fun, whether that's a walk, playtime or just a really good massage. Animals are pretty good at telling me what they need.
