Prior to acquiring two babies (dogs) of my own I have been relied upon by neighbors and extended family members to ensure their pets, both cats and dogs were loved and cared for in their absence. I provided live-in services for cats and small to medium sized dogs. I have experience using a sling for an injured medium size dog. I have also done dressing changes for ruptured cysts and have the ability to insert eye drops/ointment as required. I have been entrusted with the care of a residences, given securty codes, ensured mail is collected and refuse put out. I have previously been trained in pet first aid and plan to refresh this training. I am also pursuing further training for professional dog walking.
