Growing up with cats, dogs, and fish I started volunteering at an animal shelter back in middle school. As an adult I worked in a couple veterinary clinics and was a petcare associate at PetSmart for two years. Later in life I found great interest in rats I have had three. I currently live with a corgi, you Aussie, and guinea pig I also was intrigued of living off the land when I moved to Oregon so hand raised 6 chicks and grew my own vegetables in a green house. I love adventuring and being outside and will gladly take your dogs with. I have given my last two rats medicine in liquid form. For one of my jobs I have given a diabetic dog insulin (drawing the needles myself) and a pill twice a day for two weeks. I have also watched a dog with mega esophagus, a medical issue, which forces the dog to sit up in a chair to be fed for half a hour to use gravity to digest food. Therefore, I am up for the challenge of medicines, special needs dogs, dogs that have alot of energy and need adventures. I love all animals and would love to meet, cuddle, play with your pets and take them out for car rides to feel the breeze on their face! Whatever is your pet and your comfort of activity level I will gladly work out a plan with you. Note: I work full time (8 hour days) at the Forest Service. If you live near Pine Nursery Park I could check on your dog at lunch time for an extra fee. HEIDIN67458 my code gives you $20 off if you are a first time Rover customer
