I have cared for my own family dogs since I was 10 years old (cats since I can remember), and my friends typically think of me first when they need someone to help taking care of their pets. I've held a lifelong passion for animals (fun fact: my first word as a baby was my cat's name) and I have a B.A. in Zoology, so you know there's a genuine interest! I am comfortable with large and small dogs of all ages, I can lift up to 50-75lbs. pretty easily for those senior dogs that need a little help getting around, and I have experience administering medications both orally and topically. I'm also comfortable with other health needs, just let me know and we can discuss details. I'm able to identify general health concerns including discerning those that may require extra care while you're away, and I will be an excellent and organized communicator so you'll get regular updates on your fur babies however much you'd like (but I'm fine giving you the break if you need, or if required!). I love engaging with animals and am usually that person who's playing with or taking care of the dog at any gathering. You can rely on your loved ones getting the best care under my watch.
