Planning a Winter Getaway? I have availability for extended stays in February & March. I have been caring for dogs and cats....my own and others for well over 25 years. I am able to spend quality time with your pet, giving them the attention, exercise and companionship they need while you are away. I have volunteered at a Rottweiler rescue, fostering and getting dogs ready for adoption since 2009. Dogs (of all breeds and sizes) and cats have been a part of my life since childhood. In addition, I have experience with chickens, turkeys, rabbits, horses, goats, lizards and aquariums. I can administer medications as well as give shots. I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. I am available for extended pet/house sitting and can provide specific references for this service. I prefer to have a 'meet & greet" or two when caring for a new pet so that we have a bit of time to get acquainted. I also prefer to know about any triggers from past trauma, any fears of men, thunder, loud noises, etc. I’d like to know how they get along with other dogs or cats, do they pull on leash for walks and how they behave in a car if transport is necessary, and the 'vocabulary ' they are familiar with such as wait, down, sit,etc.
