I am an avid animal lover who has lifelong experience caring for animals. I worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel attendant in an animal hospital for 4+ years. I have also worked as an Animal Control Officer, and have fostered and adopted out hundreds of dogs and cats through rescue organizations over the past 20 years. I have dog and cat sat extensively over the years (overnight, long-term sitting, daily visits, dog walks). I studied Animal Science and was a Wildlife Biology minor as an undergraduate student, studied wildlife in South Africa, and completed an extensive dog training and behavior course. I can administer medicine and fluids, clip nails, bottle feed, clean up messes, you name it! I am happy to provide additional references.
