Animals have been my life! I have over 20 years of experience working with dogs and other animals from basic care needs to behavioral training. I also served a term working at the Oregon Zoo providing care and presentations on various species, so there aren't many things that can surprise me these days! My family used to work as breeders and we have lots of puppy care experience. I was also a horse trainer for many years, so larger breed dogs are a breeze for me. I will gladly communicate with you regularly while you're away. I am a trained instructor in human CPR, but will gladly perform on your beloved pet if necessary! I can also deliver medication if required, including shots.
