I have grown up with animals around me all the time. I can't remember a part of my childhood where I didn't have a pet, my love and passion for animals took me to volunteering at shelters and that experience took me to my current job, veterinary assisting. Working with animals is a pleasure for me, and not only have I learned to care for them physically but emotionally as well. Whether your furry friend is a puppy or an old pal with special needs, rest assured they are in good hands. If your baby takes oral medications, injections, fluids, special diet, etc. i am experienced in this field and feel comfortable administering medications to your furry baby. The first and most important rule in my house is: we must all get along! This means your dog must be friendly and have no aggression towards other animals or people. My apartment is small and cozy and that is why for now the best fit for both your dog and I would be small dogs! And they would also have a happy and friendly friend to play with. The only other animal in my house is a very loving 6lb yorkie who is healthy and up to date on vaccinations. I would prefer to care for healthy dogs who are up to date on all vaccinations only because a healthy dog is a happy dog and it makes their stay easier for them and for us too.
