I have never professionally taken care of pets, but I have had pets for my entire 23 years of life. I love dogs, especially larger breeds, and I am also a bit of a fitness fanatic so I would be more than comfortable taking dogs for multiple walks even if they require higher amounts/higher paced exercise. I will never do anything to your pet when you are not around that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing in front of you as the owner. I am understanding of the nature of animals and will not be the kind of sitter who mistreats your animals in any way. I have had pets that required no special care, as well as pets with medical conditions who required regular doses of medications ranging from creams and washes to orally administered medications. While I do not intend to be a veterinarian, I am studying for medical school and as a result have a somewhat better understanding of how to identify health problems/abnormalities in a mammalian pet. I look forward to working with anyone willing to hire me.
