My dogs are my "children".
Pet care experience
I have been a dog-parent continuously for 35 years to many different dogs (indoor and outdoor). During that time I have administered medications, given subcutaneous shots (insulin and vaccinations), and cared for ear, skin, and other problems. I have dog-sat with my grand-dogs and friends' dogs in my home and theirs. Each pup has a unique personality, and I love learning their quirks and preferences as I bond with them. Walking dogs is a joy because I can observe their reactions to various smells, sights, and sounds, but what I love most is cuddling and simply "being" with a furry friend.

By way of disclaimer, Iwana is my mom. There is absolutely no one better to look after and care for your pets. My mom is a true dog lover - through the years, my parents have had (by my best count) 16 dogs, many of them strays. My parents live on four city lots, over two of which have been largely reserved for our four-legged friends. As our pets grew old, I watched my mom provide care for elderly. It was not uncommon to see her giving daily baths or ear cleanings, or creating a special space for those dogs to be comfortable. She has a tender heart, and it's most apparent when she's interacting with animals. When work has taken me away from home, I have trusted my mom to look after my dogs - and I know every time I leave them there that they are in the absolute best hands they could be in.
As a vet student, I DESPISE being away from my boys Moose and Bongo. They keep me sane and I need them around at all times. Unfortunately I often find myself traveling to conferences and I am also in the military, which on some occasions takes me away from home for weeks at a time. There is no one I'd rather leave them with than their "Grandma". I can always rest assured that they are good hands, and I know that they will get plenty of play time and get their meds on time. Moose especially loves visiting, so much so he even knows the words "Grandma's house". They probably don't even miss me that much!
Iwana is a trustworthy and caring individual whom I would trust with any of my animals. She has also opened her home to be a foster home to a needy dog. As a volunteer with my local humane society and a fosterer I understand the compassion she has. She has always been very attentive to the physical and emotional needs of her animals and taken the extra steps to ensure their health.
I have known Iwana for nearly 30 years. She and her husband are very kind and loving to their animals......which have nearly all been rescues (some with medical issues). When a pet comes to their home, it will be cared for like one of their own. If Iwana comes to your home, she is the most trustworthy person I know.
