i have been caring for dogs and cats all my life. I am good with any stage of life that your dog or cat may be in. I know how to administer medication orally. it seems like dogs/cat just trust me.i know how to keep pets safe and warm and comfy. i will give lots of hugs and kisses. they will always feel loved.dogs just love to snuggle with me and don't forget the cats, in your life. i myself have 2 dogs and one cat. and yes the dog and cat do get along. my experience comes from owning animals all my life. I am very well educated on dogs and cats. If you do hire me you can rest knowing that your dog or cat will be loved like family.. Thank You Gayle
