I've been pet sitting for 19 years. I was a veterinary technician at an equine clinic for five years-- I'm very comfortable administering medications, bandaging wounds, cleaning up cuts and scrapes, monitoring for illnesses, etc.. on all animals. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, birds, reptiles, and fish--Pretty much everything over the years. I care for each pet like it is my own. If watching your dog, we will go on long walks through the neighborhood or go for a visit to the park to play with a ball. If your cat is up for playing, I will entertain them with their favorite toy. If housesitting, I can water plants, take out the trash/recycling, and get mail, etc. I'll update you daily and send lots of photos (if you'd like).
