I have had dogs and/or cats all my life. Before I retired from my full-time profession in Police Communications as a radio dispatcher and then supervisor in August of 2016, I volunteered for a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois specific rescue, where I gained invaluable experience handling large dogs. After I retired, I went to work as a pet sitter right away - best retirement job ever!! My profession allowed me to develop great situational awareness of my surroundings, which contributes to both my safety and the safety of the animals and homes I care for. I have experience with birds, dogs, and cats, and am able to administer subcutaneous injections and perform glucose testing. If my experience suits your needs, I look forward to hearing from you!
