Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I love spending time with dogs. They provide you with so much joy. I am capable of feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medicine. I work from home 3 days/week and MUST work in the office the other 2 days. However. I ensure that midday potty breaks and playtime is done even when I am at work. I have significant experience taking of senior dogs but also the challenge of caring for younger ones as well.

Dawn did an amazing job with my reactive dog. She was always on time and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend.
