I have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have pet sat and dog walked for years for neighbors, family and friends. My girls have had the love of dogs all their lives. I have experienced doggy behavior classes so my knowledge and skills are beneficial with less-than-perfectly behaved dogs. I have lived with and cared for senior dogs so I am experienced with meeting their needs. I have cared for my dog with cancer so I am in tune with pets being uncomfortable and in pain. I have dispensed oral meds for both dogs and cats. I have had dogs stay in my home long periods but at this time cannot because my current dogs and cats would not appreciate this and would be writing up eviction papers rather quickly.
