I have ample experience with senior and special needs critters, I am patient and dependable and personally understand the human-animal bond. When I worked in the corporate world it was very stressful for me to leave a very young, elderly or sick pet at home unattended for long stretches. When my 12-yr-old dog was diagnosed with cancer, I did extensive research on ways to enhance her remaining days, my vet was impressed that I got an additional two years with her before she passed. I am able to administer all forms of medications, including subcutaneous fluids and insulin shots. I am a advocate for the Cesar Milan way of dog training - remain calm and assertive as the pack leader. Always reward the pet when they do as you ask and never get angry when they don't.
