In addition to having been a dog lover all my life, my family always had dogs while I was growing up...I'm currently 31 years old and haven't spent even one of those years without a pet! I also have been employed as a Veterinary Technician Assistant in the past so I am also well versed in common health issues and emergency treatments for various animals! I have experience dealing with various temperaments of pets as well as pets of all sizes, including those with special needs (I grew up with a dachshund in a wheelchair)! I have reliable transportation and an extremely flexible schedule so I am willing to work around your schedule and needs to provide the best care possible for your furry friends!
