**Will wear a mask and sanitize before entering your home if requested.** I have been obsessed with dogs forever, and had a golden retriever for 15 years before she sadly past away in January 2019. I would like a dog of my own but I am not in the financial situation I would want to be in to be able to give my dog the life it deserves so I would relish at the opportunity to help care for yours! I have about 14 months experience working at a Doggy Daycare Center in Columbus that I sadly had to leave to pursue a Master's Degree in England. More recently I was an English teacher in Spain but I sadly had to return to America in March due to the global pandemic. I am more than comfortable watching 100+ dogs with 3-5 other employees and up to 30 dogs on my own. Naturally a home will not have that many dogs so there is nothing I cannot handle. I have experience administering pills via numerous mediums, shots of insulin, bathing, toe nail clipping/using a dremmel, separating dog fights, and the not-so-glamorous bits such as cleaning up every type of bodily fluid a dog can produce. My experience with special needs dogs ranges from a completely deaf Staffordshire Bull Terrier to senior diabetic miniature poodle that needed twice daily injections of insulin. I am in no way biased against any breed of dog and believe that all dogs are good dogs. I have experience with dogs varying from 2lbs. to well over 100lbs. My boyfriend and I are also the parents of two boy ferrets so I have experience with ferrets and feeding franken-raw for obligate carnivorous animals. :) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and I hope I get to see you and your dog(s) soon!
