While you are at work, away on a business trip, or vacationing, I am more than happy to care for your pets. There is no question that my love of caring for "man and woman's best friend" is genuine. I understand the needs and wants of not only what our furry friends have but also their owners as well. My name is John H and I am 28 years old. I am Deaf and my mother tongue is American Sign Language (ASL). I communicate effectively with all individuals via written English—this does not interfere with my abilities to care for pets whatsoever. I've owned and raised a dog of my own. I've pet-sat for friends and family for several years now and I understand animals aren't just pets, but members of the family. You won't have to worry while you're away I will make sure your furry friend stays happy and healthy. I will also keep your house tidy and spotless. I'm an active easy going person with high energy. Although I consider myself to be high energy, I am also very patient and understanding. This really is important, and means that I am not afraid to comfort and cuddle with your pet if s/he is feeling down. Love and affection is extremely important to give a pet but so is rules and boundaries, true love is accomplished by letting the pet know that they have nothing to worry about. When in my care your best friend will become my best friend as well, giving them the ability to really cut lose. Give your pet a nice vacation too, wether for business or pleasure everyone deserves to relax. I would love to get the opportunity to work with you. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is beneficial to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. ***I do accommodate pets that require special care due to age, chronic illnesses, post-surgical recovery, and/or other medical reasons. I will treat your pets as my own and greatly understand the importance of your pets' needs. With me, your pets are in gentle, caring, and experienced hands! My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable in administering medications due to past experiences with my dog, such as using an inhaler, giving pills (by mouth, in food, pocket pills, etc.), administering cream in the ears or on the body, eye/ear drops, etc. Note: I do not have experience at this time with administering injections, however, I am willing to learn if you teach me!
