I am available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. I have cared for my friends 4 legged family members. While they vacationed for the last 10 years. 1 is 150lb dog and would not eat unless I stayed with her. 1 dog has now passed and was 60lbs and needed medicines 2 x a day. 1 cat that also has now passed and was not friendly. Both dogs love their mom, but seem to be good with me substituting for her a couple times a year. I am patient and allow dogs to come to me for our 1st meeting. Showing them respect of there space and letting them know I am not a threat. Looking forward to caring for your 4 legged family members.
