I love caring and playing with all animals young and old. I have 13 years experience caring for dogs and 40 caring for cats including senior pets. I am responsible, conscientious and will treat your fur-baby as I would my own. I have volunteered at the animal shelter Animeals several times in the last two years focusing on play and socialization. I adore senior dogs and cats and can administer medications. I cared for my old Boxer lab, one of my most beloved pets, through her changing needs as she grew old, and nursed my senior cat for close to four years. This care included daily medications and fluids administered via needle and IV bag. I presently am the proud pet parent of two cats and salt water fish (we presently live in a place that does not allow dogs), so I am a dog-less dog-lover and miss their companionship. I enjoy walking dogs and playing and giving affection to both dogs and cats. I am available most nights and can stay most of the day, although I will need to go out to care for my own fur-babies, and do chores two-four hours total most days. I prefer cats and dogs up to 25 pounds. I am a non-smoker and do not have a smartphone, so I will be present with your pet and not glued to my phone. My introductory special: I will care for two cats for the same $20.00 overnight rate!
