Growing up in a home environment that always had cats and dogs around enabled me to learn how to care for them effectively. I have lived with and cared for all kinds of dogs including: Great Danes, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers, Bulldog, Bassett Hound, Shih Tzu, Pitbull, Pointer, Siberian husky, Cocker spaniel, Boxer, Sheltie, Dalmatian, Greyhound, Jack Russell Terrior, etc. I am a gentle caregiver and I don't hit animals for no reason. I do have 2 dogs and 2 cats (one cat has just had a litter of kittens) that live in my house with me, so if your animal has problems being around other animals I do have a spare bedroom they can be in so that they can be more comfortable. I take my dogs on walks regularly to keep them healthy and keep their muscles and limbs limber. I do require a list of health issues, medications, and special dietary needs when dropping off your animals. I give treats to my animals regularly and I need to know if your animals can have treats or if they need special kinds of treats.
