I am semi-retired, so I have flexibility as far as availability. I have worked at three veterinary specialty centers, totaling nearly ten years as a veterinary technician, so I am also able to administer medication if need be. I began as a veterinary assistant (that's how they were referred to as), after my discharge from the Air Force, at a general practice animal hospital. I am also able to detect and advise on a medical/training issue. I possess lots of maturity and patience because of my seasoned age and experience. I always try to respect to, and adjust to individual behaviors as to different breeds and temperaments. I like trying to respect the dogs habits and preferences. Why I love dog sitting Ever since I was old enough to know what a dog is.
