I am a third year vet student and I have worked with dogs extensively since a young age. I have cared for my dog at home and also cared for many dogs in a medical setting. I am familiar with what they may need in an emergency, as well as comfortable giving them any medications if need be. I am comfortable around dogs and would not mind any size of dog, or if your dog may be a little nervous or shy at first. I know some dogs simply take a while to warm up to people, is all. I'm also very comfortable with cats, if you have any cats in the home that may need taking care of as well. All in all, you'd be hard pressed to find a more enthusiastic or well prepared dog sitter.
