Please read all my information. If I look like a good fit for your pet and home, lets set up a meet n greet at your home. No obligation. If you have multiple dogs, I recommend paying attention to how much someone charges if you have more than one dog, to be cared for on an overnight. I charge only $5.00/per day for each additional dog. I enjoy homes with multiple dogs, as well as the single pup. FYI - I do not do overnights for just cats. I have 107 solid five star reviews, and 50 repeat pet parents over the 10 years I've been with Rover. I have had a life time of experience! I've owned three homes, all fixer uppers. The last two homes I owned, I had the dogs come to my house. Both had large yards. I have no pets of my own. I do enjoy the company of the canines. You can leave your home and dogs in my care, with no worries. I'm available by cell phone pretty much 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. by habit. I have had dogs in my life ever since I was a young girl, in Berkeley. CA. My neighbors thought I would be a veterinarian, the way I liked animals. As a young girl, I had a duck named Duke, who followed me along the side walk. When I was a teenager I shared my twin bed with our free ranging, boxer mix, Andy. I had a flock of pigeons, and I would watch them tumble through the skies over the Berkeley hills. As an adult, I raised two hens from youngins and enjoyed fresh eggs in the S. F. Bay Area. My last cat lived to be 13 years old. Also, I love riding horses. I do like the critters. I have cared for, and trained dogs, as a profession for 13 years in the S.F. Bay Area, and now in the Pacific North West. For overnight stays, I need a bed that is larger than a single because I am taller than average. My experience administering medication: Yes, absolutely, I have experience giving meds. I also have taken a first-aid class for dogs at DoveLewis in downtown Portland. FYI - I worked at the University of California, Berkeley, for over 25 years. In my last three positions I oversaw the payroll for the departments. In my very last position I was the Payroll Coordinator for a department, and oversaw 350 employees' pay. I did a lot of problem solving. I am dependable and trustworthy, and I am very respectful of a client’s home, and requests/instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I enjoy getting to know each dog and work to secure their trust in me. At the meet n greet I bring 2 pages of questions regarding your individual pet. I have a few private clients.
