Pet care experience

retired RN seeks dog visitors!

I am very much an animal person and believe in taking superb care of any pets that are in my care. I have an extensive medical background which helps care for animals no matter what should arise. I plan to only take care of one dog at a time and limit the poundage to max of 45 pounds. A meet and greet is required before I will watch your dog to make sure that he or she is a good match for me and I am a good match for them. Iam available to leash walk the dog at least four times a day. I have no problem with your for baby sitting on my couch with me or sleeping on my bed. I do have a requirement that all dogs are housebroken with no history of biting. I am able to give any oral or injectable medications. I am happy to send daily update via email or Instant message along with a pictures of your pet.

Harriet took great care of our fur baby, and it was a relief to know she was in good hands. We look forward to having Harriett having Hannah in the future.

From the "meet and greet" I could tell our Frenchy would be well cared for with Harriet. On the drop off, she was so comfy, she ate with her but she wouldn’t eat with us beforehand !? HaHa and it seems like Harriet and Frenchy are friends for life !

Harriet was amazing!!! She loved my dog with her whole heart!!! Jillie was so well taken care and had oodles of attention and snuggles. Harriet was great about keeping me up to date and sending me pictures and sharing stories. My dog searched our home looking for her when she got back. I think "Jilliie" really misses Harriet!!
