I have been around and cared for rodents, fish, cats, birds,dogs and horses all my life. My bulldog had a lot of medical issues and as he grew older became blind and deaf, so I am very good at taking care of special needs dogs and senior dogs. I walk daily and am fit, so long walks are no problem for me. I have a flexible schedule. In the past I mostly pet sat for family and friends, all size of dogs. I would say one of my skills would be pill-giving. I know this is a struggle for a lot of pet owners. I also have been through some dog-training classes, so am willing to practice commands as I pet-sit your furry family member.
