I was a cardiac tech for 25 yrs. semi retired, by that I mean, I've learned I need to work, too young to retire. I do have 1 yr experience working at veterinarian hospital as well. have always had a dog. I think they are the sweetest creatures on earth. I will treat and love your dog like they are my own. I am available Monday through Friday. I owned German shepards in my younger years. Now my husband and I have a sweet pug named Bella. I know how hard it is to work full time, and worry about your dog. I can check on your dog, keep you informed if you'd like. Elderly dogs, I'd be happy to check on them, let them out, and just keep them company for a while so they are not alone all day.
