I grew up around animals and absolutely love them, especially dogs! I have experience taking care of many types of animals including small pets like rabbits, reptiles (particularly snakes), birds, cats, goats, and horses. I am not intimidated or scared of large dogs--having regularly handled them as well as many other types of large animals. I currently live with three dogs of my own and have overseen the care of special needs and elderly dogs before. I've given medication and taken care of injured animals before, I even know how to feed through a feeding tube. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home during the day and clean commercial offices two evenings a week. Playing with and pampering my dogs makes me happy (especially if it includes taking naps together on the couch). I love being able to make homemade treats and snacks for them (I'll bring treats along for your dog too). Every dog is a good dog and deserves something yummy. I've worked cleaning houses and commercial offices for quite some time, as well as regularly checked neighbors' houses while they're away--so I also have experience caring for others' property.
