My name is Essence. I am a 24 year old working and living in State College, Pennsylvania. In previous years I have had a cat for 2 years and a pit bull for a year. Additionally I babysit and while babysitting I have watched after small and medium sized dogs. I let them outside when needed and monitor the dogs well-being. My pit bull had mange so I am experienced in providing medicine to animals. I stayed with a friend for a while whose mother fosters dog. I cared for up to 10 dogs when everyone was away for the day. One of the dogs had a heart condition. I did not have to administer medication to the boxer but I did have to manage play time and care for him in emergency situations. All of my pet sitting experiences has been positive. I know how important pets are to everyone, just as mine were to me. They are family and when we leave family we want to know that they are in safe hands, which is what I will assure you of !
