I grew up on a ranch till I was 18 when moved away to school for Voice/Opera. I always had dogs among various other animals. I've only ever briefly NOT had a dog through out my life. I also have 8 years of Veterinary experience as an ER and day-time practice receptionist and am familiar with at-home feeding, medication and activity/socializing. I've gained experience over the years dog sitting mostly because all of my friends have dogs and I sit for them while they're away. I have experience dog/cat sitting for Vet. Hospital Clients. I can provide at- home care with prescription diets and medication, should you find it necessary. I'm no stranger to the "dirty work" either. I don't mind cleaning a cat box, picking up poop in the back yard or even giving your kiddo a bath. I have experience as a dog-bather as well. I'm happy to help to make your life easier so you can rest easy knowing that your dog is in good, caring and responsible hands.
