I have raised several of my own pets over my lifetime. My most recent is a 14 year old pug that needs eye drops, oral medications, and insulin through a syringe so I am very skilled with all the difficult pet care needs that many shy away from. I am loving and caring with animals but know how to follow each client's rules. I am happy to play with, walk, or even run with your pet as I have with mine over the years (not so much the pug, she is really built for sleeping and VERY slow walks). I understand how important pets are to people as my dog is practically my child! I am very careful to watch each animal not only for safety but also for any abnormal activity that would warrant notifying an owner. This is why I ask several questions the first time I walk an animal. I want to make sure that I am able to recognize any strange behavior.
