I've always had animals in my life (I learned how to walk using my moms Elkhound for balance) and know how much they add to our lives. Friends, family and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed and care for their pets while they're away for any amount of time or just running late. I'm honored they trust me and feel safe letting me care for an important part of their family. I'm comfortable with animals with special needs. I'm currently home taking care of my mom so I have a flexible schedule. Her appointments change per week but I know well in advance when they are. Trust is very important to me and something I take seriously. I know I'm caring and protecting something this is an important part of your life. I like to keep their schedule and routine as close to what they're used to doing as possible. I'm detail oriented. No need to say, "I know this sounds crazy, but we do this to make the dog feel comfortable/get them to eat." No worries- I understand.
