Pet care experience

Future Vet🐾

I’ve grown up around dogs + cats my entire life I love being around animals. My family has three dogs and I have one of my own at the moment. I’m currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine at university. I started walking dogs for Rover last year, I’ve absolutely loved it so far it’s been great! I I have experience dealing with dogs with health issues that require support/extra care, my dog that I own currently is diabetic so every day I give her 2x insulin shots and she’s on a strict diet plan. I’ve raised senior dogs with severe arthritis and I have plenty of experience dealing with dogs that have anxiety/attachment issues. I have experience handling large dogs, I walk two 140IB Great Pyrenees 5 days a week.

Safety, trust & environment

My wonderful maltipoos name is Jinji, I found her as a stray when she was three about five years ago. I found her lying under a hot car in the middle of the summer. I took her to my home and she was extremely dehydrated, malnourished and her skin was infected. I fostered her for almost a year, I got her up to a regular healthy weight, last year she was taken to the vet and we discovered that she is diabetic. Since then I’ve cared for her on a strict schedule that requires multiple daily insulin shots and an incredibly diet plan that must be distributed on schedule 12 hours apart. You can expect the same care and attention for your pet whatever their needs be. I walk my dog every day, in my neighborhood we have a dog park and occasionally I’ll take her up there, she has a little dog friend group and even though she gets anxious the open space allows her to socialize comfortably. If you worry that your dog gets lonely I can find it plenty of friends to mingle with.

Communication could be much better, no visit report completed and no pictures shared as most sitters seem to do
