I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, birds, hamsters, rabbits etc. . All animals know that I love them, so bonding is never a problem. Willing to stay at your home if you go out of town. Learn quickly how to take care of special needs, medication and if shown how to give injections, or other special requirements, can do that as well. I have taken care of an African Grey parrot, ponies as well. I will go to dog parks if desired. Large dogs must be leash trained. Will do drop in services as well. Basically, I will do whatever is required to care for your dog or other pets, and plants as well. I have many references and am totally honest, organized and trustworthy.
