Dogs and Cats, I'll love on 'em all

Pet care experience

I have grown up in a house full of fur babies - both cats and dogs - my entire life. I have experience with an epileptic pup and a diabetic cat of my own. That said, I have used syringes to inject insulin and have also been medicating my pup for several years. Being a bigger guy, I am able to handle most larger pups and dogs. I have grown up with mixed breeds, but have some experience with dobermans. That said, I do not have any real breed preference. I am willing to work with large dogs, though my experience with them is limited. If you are a cat owner, I have my fair share of experience with them as well. This includes senior and special needs cats. I have extensive experience with injecting medication (insulin) to cats. If your cat requires oral medications, I would prefer to talk over what your procedures are before I go about doing so myself. Currently, I am attending school full time. That said, I am primarily free on weekends, but do have mornings and evenings also open during the week where I would be willing to go a little further than my currently set travel distance. There is also a short break between classes where I could possibly come give potty breaks and check-ins to nearby pets. I do have a car to get around to give your pets potty breaks during the day. If you have an early morning, I currently have mornings free and am ready and willing to come take care of your fur babies. If you are going to be back late, I also have evenings free!

I can highly recommend James, not only does he care for his own dog, but his dog has seizures, separation anxiety and is extremely afraid of thunder storms. James ensures he is seen by our vet., medicated and exercised regularly. James is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond what most pet owners would do for their dogs. James researched ways to calm his dog's separation anxiety and issue with thunder storms. When everyone is gone from the house, the t.v. is left on to Animal Planet which provides human voices which calms his dog's anxiety and he researched, found and purchased a thunder vest for his dog. James' dog is also given Benadryl to help calm him before a thunder storm rolls in. This has allowed the dog to be happier and more relaxed. He is a working class dog and has to be challenged, both physically and mentally, this is done by play with several different types of toys.

Skills

24 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Injected medication administration
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Information James C. would like to know about your pet

When sitting and/or walking, I would like to know if the dog has any triggers that I need to be aware of, be it they do not like being touched in a certain spot or they do not like someone near their food, or whatever it may be.

A typical day

I am excited to walk around the area with your pups! Lackawanna State Park has some incredible hiking trails that I would like to check out during the nicer weather. Dog parks and outdoor fun are absolutely on the list of things I could bring for your pup(s)! If you have a cat or 2 (or 5, don't judge my family too harshly) I am always ready to play chase the dot and twist a string around!
