I previously had a German Shepherd and a black lab. They crossed the rainbow bridge and I can't have dogs where I live now, so I miss that interaction and play. I have had cats since my dogs were no longer with me. I am very responsible and attentive to your fur baby. I have experience giving subcutaneous injections and IV medications to one of my cats, so your dog's special needs are not a worry. They will be well cared for and loved until you are back home again. I worked as a vet tech many years ago, and would love to be your dog's caretaker while you are away. I also take pictures of your pet(s) and send them when you are gone so you can see what they are doing.
