Pet care experience

I have worked with many breeds of dogs with different personalities. I will treat them as if they were my own pet. I have worked at Pieper Olson Memorial's boarding and know how to work with difficult dogs. As well as Bangor Humane Society and Cattales in Middletown, CT. I am available all week except during specific times on Monday, Wednesday at 2-5pm, and Friday 8-2pm because of my internship at Cold Spring Farm in Colchester for a school requirement. I have grown up around many different breeds of dogs since I was a kid. I have my experience from my clinical class i took for animal care, I know first aid for dogs. How to treat wounds, if needed take vitals, and administer medication.

I have known Melissa for 5 years and she is a responsible, gentle young woman. She is an animal advocate and will diligently tend to a customer's dog, providing nurturing, protective care. I own 2 elderly dogs with special needs, and would trust Melissa without hesitation!
