I can provide references primarily for long-term pet sitting. I have worked at a vet clinic in the past and learned a lot about dogs and cats and what they need to be happy and healthy. I truly love spending time with animals and understand what they need and like. I have always been very good with animals and feel I have a natural affinity with them. I love going on long walks and playing fetch for shorter day visits as well. I don't have any issue with older dogs who may need medical care or young puppies who are accident prone. I understand the importance of consistency in behavior and would be willing to learn your dog's schedule and day structure so I can work with that to keep them feeling normal and happy. I also have dogs myself and would be able to bring him along as a playmate if they are a good fit!
