Military Working Dog/Vet Tech Exp.
Pet care experience
I have owned/ dog sat dogs of all ages my entire life. I am very familiar with dog grooming needs, nutrition, training, and exercising needs. I worked as a animal caretaker of Military Working Dogs for 13 months at Lackland Air force base in San Antonio. At this facility i was responsible for exercising, feeding, grooming, diagnosing illnesses, bringing animals to the vet, and cleaning up after MWDs, I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, personality types and temperaments. My knowledge of dogs are all from experiences training, being an animal caretaker, dog sitting and assisting a vet in an animal hospital. I have worked in canine rehabilitation at the military working dog facility and am also very familiar with dogs with restricted abilities,
Reviews
I have known Dana my whole life, and she has always had a unique and special way with all animals that she comes in contact with. She is a gentle, caring and loving individual that has always had a genuine love for every dog she meets. She always has their best interest in mind, and it is that one of a kind love that makes Dana so different from the rest. She is the first person that I call when I need a trusting person to watch my dog. I can always rely on her to keep my extremely needy, spoiled, and hyper boxer puppy happy and comfortable when I am away. He absolutely adores Dana! Most importantly, she has professional experience with military dogs, so she questions us about any training we are currently trying to maintain so that she can work with him during her walks and visits. I never have to question whether or not his needs are being met while I am away. She is the best, in so many unique ways, and the only person that I can trust with my dog.
Dana comes and watches my two shepherds every day for an hour, mind you I have two hyper shepherds who are puppies. I couldn't ask for a better person to come and check on them, she always wears them out and they are always super happy to see her. Dana treats my puppies like they are her own and she is the best dog sitter I have ever had.
