A typical day

I have a very large crate that stays in the living room Time I'll spend with your dog someone is always around except for about three hours during the day. your pet will get plenty of attention feeding, taking out for potty breaks, playtime,walking, bringing in the mail turning on and off lights, collecting mail etc. if you have cats or small animals I will take care of them also.

Pet care experience

We are a family of four, we love all animals. I have worked as a vet assistant for over 9 1/2 years, I have worked with many rescues including rottie rescues and pit bull rescues. I have also worked with horses for thirty plus years. Both of my children have been brought up with a family of rotties and have been taught to respect all animals. We have a habit of finding lost dogs and getting them back home again. My kids love to save baby birds in the spring when they fall from the nests..My daughter was working with a dog we were fostering learning to train it to do tricks and also obedience training. the dog has now found a forever home. Any animal that comes into our home would get more than enough attention and treated like family. my nickname is Dr Doolittle. Why I love dog sitting Since I was a small child. my family has always had at least three dogs at a time. I have worked with animal hospitals as a vet assistant worked with many rescues and bred and trained dogs. All dogs must be housetrained and flea free to stay at my home. About my yard grass backyard fully fenced for lots of playtime and also can be hand walked if they need extra exercise. We also live near the park so they can play there too. I have experience with first aid, cuts all kinds of bumps and bruises and administering medication -including shots. I have done it for years working for a vet and also my own animals
