I was an ER Vet nurse for 6 years. I'm new to the area and slowely integrating from Washington D.C. I have prior dog walking and house sitting experience as well as doing house calls for sick animals (fluid maintenance for renal failure pets, geriatric care, giving insulin shots and administering medications, etcetera). I love all types of animals and I'm willing to sit with them for company, give love and take them out for exersize. I live in a studio that is spacious and has tile flooring, so untrained puppies or senior dogs are not a concern for me. I have a very sweet 5 year old Australian lizard who would not be in the way of the dogs or cats in my care as I would be keeping him in my bathroom with a closed door. I understand that your pets are friends and family and I treat them accordingly as if they were my own.
