Many of my friends have trusted me with the care of their precious pets over 20 years, while they were on vacation. They rest assured that I will love them as my own knowing I will pay particular attention to their specific needs regarding diet, activity, medicine, and simply attention and snuggling. I follow diet instructions to the letter, preparing a variety of mixtures of dry/wet dog food, as well as cut up hot dogs, cooked rice, etc. I have given pills by various means (in cheese, hot dogs, pill pockets, etc), administered eye drops, and even given diabetic injections to their treasured furry friends. When allowed by pet owners, I allow pets to sleep with me. I have one dog of my own, a 15 pound terrier mix, who enjoys playful times with furry friends as well.
