Pet care experience

8 yrs fostering dogs. afternoon evening weekends. People say I have a huge heart for animals of all kinds. I take the extra mile with making a animal feel secure and loved and not scared. No dog is too big or too small to care for in my book. I can be available in your home or mine afterwork stop bys during the day if close enough. Full Weekends I can be available to stop by feed walk potty breaks. I have fostered newborn pups and hand fed them till they were able to eat on their own. Pretty flexible my family and I always treat other dogs as if they were our own. I can also care for cats but in your home. feedings,play etc.

Took no notes during her orientation visit. Offered her personal cell phone number at that time as "Rover reads all of the texts." Showed up 2.5 hours later for house sitting - only after I tracked her down. Threw dog feces into the KITCHEN garbage can. Let the dogs out without leashes when it was dark out despite having a verbal understanding that was never to happen. Not all medications were signed off as being administered. No photos sent despite request. Filled water bowls from the sink most of the time instead of pouring from the HealthyMouth medicated container. Did not supervise eating, so my smaller dog had obviously gained weight and therefore, possibly would also have eaten the medications meant for the other dog. She was to open the inside shutters at night in an effort to cool down the house. Because 1 of my pups has GOLPP, he has to be kept cool. She never opened the shutters during her 3 night stay and therefore when I arrived home the house was hotter than it's been all summer yo the detriment of my pup. She is not a good fit for me and my pups.
