I grew up with two dogs and two cats and helped take care of them for as long as I can remember. This includes helping train them as therapy dogs for retirement communities and taking care of my dogs when they got too old to eat without assistance. I picked up tips and tricks to manage even difficult dogs and I learned how to read a dog's body language very well. I am especially inclined toward elderly, special needs, and anxious dogs. I am comfortable administering medication except for shots (for example insulin). I am a huge animal lover and enjoy going for walks, so I figured I would combine these two passions! I have had cats, dogs, hamsters, and rats. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and am comfortable with everything except spiders. I worked at the Emergency Desk at the largest animal hospital in Boston, USA, so I am familiar with common problems pets can encounter and what the warning signs are. I love being able to meet the different personalities that each pet has. Your pet would be treated as my very own!
