Nurse to humans and dog lover!

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting/house sitting for over 10 years. I love dogs, but just have not gotten my own yet. I work 8-4:30 Monday through Friday so would be available after 5pm on weekdays. I am a registered nurse and have experience giving oral medicine to dogs already. Could be taught how to do injections, as I do them on humans on a daily basis. I can do extended hours on weekends as well. I know that some dogs need more than 20 minutes to be walked and get out their energy so I am happy to do extended walks or take them to dog parks, for an increased rate. I am extremely flexible and have a great attitude and look forward to meeting you and your dog! References are available upon request!

Melanie was such a pleasure to communicate with. She sent pictures and took care of my boy on such short notice. I will definitely look to her for any future pet care needs. Thank you Melanie!
