Hello, my name is Kerrigan and I would absolutely love to watch your dog for you while you’re away! I have several years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, ranging from mice to sheep. I spent three years working as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary clinic, where I learned how to properly administer a variety of medications, perform general exams, and run diagnostic tests. I am easily able to recognize symptoms of ailments that might afflict your dog, and can administer first aid if necessary. My most recent employment required that I care for a kennel of up to 30 beagles and 4-5 pit bulls at a time. I am experienced with monitoring dogs in play groups, and have had a year of professional instruction on how to train dogs. I have also volunteered at a wolf sanctuary and am very comfortable and confident working with larger breeds. In fact, large breeds are my favorite! Above all, I just love dogs and will treat your pet as I would my own, with love, attentiveness, and the utmost care that I can possibly provide. I am not currently employed, as I would like to dedicate all of my time to caring for the dogs that come to me through Rover. Also, if your dog gets a little dirty during our time together from all the fun we're having, I will bathe them for free!
