Home away from home

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover, veterinary technician with over 5 years of experience in the field, also I have been taking care of small animals for over 9 years at my home as well as at a SPCA location I used to volunteer to. I can offer you a nice loving family and all my dedication for your pet. I have fenced in small yard, but usually take long walks in the morning and afternoon, I can bring them along for some exercise! Animals have always been part of my life, I can't allow myself not to be in contact with nature and animals, since I am working from home right now, I thought it would be a great idea to get to meet dogs from all over my area, and have the opportunity to teach my kids the love for animals, and make myself happy by sharing my time with them :) Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my whole life, I have had dogs living with me since I was 6, that's when I got the best Christmas present, Xiomi a toy poodle I fell in love with, sadly she passed away from a strange disease months after her arrival. Ever since, I dedicated my self into learning about dogs,cats,birds,reptiles,other mammals , etc... About my yard My backyard is small, fenced in, so basically I take them out several times a day for potty breaks and try to walk with them in the morning and afternoon. My experience administering medication As I mentioned before, I can administer oral and injected medications, and strictly follow any schedule your dog may have.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks If you request it, i have a dog park just by my house i can take them to, i just don't know if its safe, because i don't know the other dogs' behavior and if they have all of their shots up to date . Your dog's sleeping arrangement As you know dogs may act in a different way when at a stranger's house, so i'd like for you to bring a crate along with your dog, it'll be used for night time, when it's time to sleep, i just want to make sure your dog has its own " safe spot" to go to , and there will be no "surprises" around my house when i wake up. They will be inside the house with the family :) Time I'll spend with your dog All day long, almost everyday, at this time i am staying at my house, caring for my sons and dogs.
