Before moving to Bellingham for school, I worked at a Pet Hotel that provided boarding and doggy daycare services. There I learned valuable skills, such as how to feed, clean up after, and entertain dogs, as well as life-saving information such as the 7 critical signs of stress (used to take emergency action if observed). **Authorizing me to rush your pet to the emergency veterinarian if critical signs of stress are observed would give both parties peace of mind. This is very unlikely, but is ultimately life saving if your animal has a medical emergency while you are away** I am more than happy to communicate via my personal cell phone to get back to you and send updates and photos of your pup as quickly as possible!
