I have worked with dogs for several years. I have worked in a doggie daycare and boarding facility, I am a certified pet tech. and a professional dog trainer (APDT C.L.A.S.S. Trainer) and one-on-one private trainer. I recently had to say goodbye to our Golden, Sunshine, at the age of twelve. She was an excellent therapy dog and a very important part of our family. I have, also, trained/fostered a potential service dog (also a Golden) that was unable to become a service dog due to cataracts, so we kept him and he is working as a PTSD therapy dog. I have worked for over 20 yrs. as a professional, location dog photographer. I love all dogs and am familiar with many breeds. During drop in visits I will let your dog out to potty, give love and attention, and I am comfortable giving meds (oral, topical, and injections), I was taught by a vet. I also have experience with dogs with special needs (paralysis, cancer, blind, deaf,diabetic, etc.) I promise to show your dog the same love and care that I show my own. I work from home (unless I'm training at a customer's home), so your dog will get a lot of attention and supervision. Dog walks will always be on leash! I will even train while we walk, if your dog needs loose leash walking help. I cat sit kitties, too! I’ve had cats since I was 7 yrs old, until recently. I have given meds orally, topically, and injections. I’m experienced with cats that have many different medical conditions, including cancer, blind/deaf, and diabetic. Litter scooping and cat petting are included. About this sitter: I have worked with dogs for several years. I have worked in a doggie daycare and boarding facility.
