Hello! I have been caring for both dogs and cats for many years. Rest assured, your dog(s) and/or cat(s) will be treated as an extension of my family. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your pet family care needs! LGBTQ-friendly. I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and an animal lover, in general, my entire life. I was timid with dogs as a child, but as an adult, I have grown to love their playfulness and companionship. A friend once said when I was adopting my dog - 'You will see there is nothing like the love and adoration of a dog.' - and she was absolutely correct. While I love and care for all dogs, I have a soft spot for older, geriatric dogs and bigger dogs like Great Pyrenees, Labs, Pit Bulls, and herding dogs like Heelers, Australian and German Shepherds, and Border Collies. I have been called a 'Cat Lady' and it is a moniker I embrace wholeheartedly. I love looking after cats in addition to dogs, and while I love all cats, older cats are my absolute favorite. And on occasion, I have even tended to birds (including chickens), fish, and snakes. Essentially, I will happily look after all sentient critters in and around your home. **In-home care/stays** I provide in-home care within a 10-mile radius of my home. While the primary focus is on the animals, my service is also about looking after your home while you are away and ensuring the safety of both your pets and your home. I am willing to sit beyond a 10-mile radius for an additional per night fee. **Boarding and Dog Daycare** I welcome dogs that are indifferent to and are calm around cats. One dog at any given time. **Home Visits and Dog Walks** I will only ever walk dogs from one household at any given time, and I am comfortable walking three dogs at a time. **A Word on Medication Administration** I have administered various medications orally, nasally, and subcutaneously, and I am adherent to medication regimens. Injections, pills, creams, ointments, fluids, inhalers - you name it, I have administered it to both dogs and cats. One dog I watched needed to have blood glucose levels checked twice per day, and I drew and tested the blood and documented the statistics per the owners request.
