I've adopted 7 dogs of various breeds in my lifetime; I've always cared for dogs. I was the primary caretaker for my family's oldest dog, who required multiple medications and special accommodations (Passed in Dec '18). I'm very intuitive and empathetic with animals. I've helped out friends for nearly 4 years with petsitting tasks, with up to 6 animals at a time. I'm also very familiar with caring for special needs canines/dogs who require medicine. I've cared for dogs of all temperaments and energy levels; from those who never sit still and always want a toy to those who are content to nap all day. I have experience with complex medical needs, such as oral medications, topical medications, special diets, deafness, mobility restrictions, and seizures. References available upon request.
