I worked for over a year at a vet clinic and boarding facility before I graduated from college. Meaning not only am I very comfortable with dogs that are not my own, but I also am extremely familiar with health and safety aspects of the job. Sometimes over the holidays we had 200+ dogs boarding in our facility - dogs of all sizes, personalities, and breeds. Not only that, but my mother has also been a dog foster home my entire life, and she has worked with rescue groups extensively. There is very little that I don't know how to handle. I am comfortable with dogs who have health or behavioral problems as long as you are up front about it! Training is not my specialty, but there is very little else that I cannot do. Dogs that need careful doses of medication? No problem! Does your pupper need a bath? I helped the groomer every day at my old job! Do you have a special needs dog - or maybe elderly or very young? Also no problem! I've literally helped pull newborn puppies out of a birthing canal, and I've also walked senior dogs that were completely blind and deaf (and walking a dog both blind and deaf is a true act of patience, by the way!) Is your dog aggressive by normal standards, and you're reluctant to hire a pet sitter for that reason? Guess what, that's also something I'm totally comfortable with. I really just live and breathe dogs. I have two babies of my own, and I promise to treat your beloved pet with the same patience, affection, and respect that I have for mine.
