I am an experienced pet care provider. I've worked with over thousands of dogs, of varying breeds and temperaments. I can handle any dog regardless of size, and have a lot of experience with shy, unsocialized pets. When I worked for an animal shelter in Southern California, my job was to work with the feral cats in quarantine, and helping to socialize dogs deemed unadoptable. I successfully socialized over hundreds of cats and dogs so that they could go to Petsmart to be adopted. It's something I'm very passionate about. As a former vet assistant, I do have experience administering oral, and injectable medications, including insulin. I know the importance of making sure your pet eats when they get their insulin. I monitor pets very closely, regardless of whether they are on medications or not. I like to be able to spot differences in a pets normal routine before it becomes a problem. I work part time in addition to offering pet sitting. I typically work Wednesday-Friday in Lacey. I offer home visits, overnight care in your home, extended care, as well as dog walks, and some light grooming if needed. I care for pets in your home as if I'm caring for my own. I have three cats, and one senior dog of my own, so I know how important reliable care is. I've worked with animals professionally for over 25 years, and their care and safety is my number one priority.
