I have ten years of veterinary experience. This gives me an even more personal relationship with pets I watch. I'm comfortable with medications, specific details of care, transporting, and familiar with different personalities and anxieties pets may have. I do have kids, but they have been thoroughly taught proper respect for our canine visitors & are very helpful with puppy play(when we're too young to go outside), bottle feeding babies, cleaning dishes, setting up beds, and providing extra hugs and attention. We offer gated access where pet can't go. We never share our table food with our visiting pets & only give what they come with. Kids toys and anything that could be chewed is never left out. And I don't mind if you want to have pics sent or face time your pet, too!
