I've been taking care of animals for most of my life, but when my girlfriend and I began dating, her special needs dog, Gabe, taught me much more than I ever expected. I'm now familiar with and profecient at giving oral medications as well as injection medications, I know the patience needed to deal with dogs who suffer from separation anxiety and I understand how important it is for us to know that our animals are comfortable and taken care of when we're away. Because of Gabe's issues, my girlfriend and I have noticed a serious lack of dogsitters in our area who are 100% comfortable taking care of animals with special needs. We have also noticed that many sitters require all animals be crate trained. That is not something you would need to worry about with me. From daily walks or hikes, to entertaining them at home while you're out for a date night, to overnight sits while you're away on vacation... I live 2 blocks from Everhart Park, and have a very flexible schedule!
