I have been working with animals in voluntary and professional situations for over 30 years. Animals other than dogs/cats are also accepted, including but not limited to rats, snakes, bunnies, pet pigs and chinchillas as long as I have instructions. * Mom bred purebred dogs from the time I was 9 years old. * Have cared for kennels * Familiar with treatments, vaccinations, elderly dogs, teeth issues, diabetes, and shock. * Work with the owner to keep the dog on a *steady routine*, ensuring that my eyes are always on them. *From Yorkies to Irish Wolfhounds, I have handled all sizes and temperaments. *Available for multiple dogs *Dogs with separation anxiety are more than welcome, as they require the steadiness and love a quiet person can give. I am 46, and have been taking courses at the University of Guelph toward working on rabies globally. In the meantime I enjoy building relationships with all of my clients. I schedule house sitting with owners with the understanding that at the present time I am unable to take house sitting for pets that require 24/7 human contact. At our Meet & Greet we will discuss your pet's needs, which I follow to your specifications. Your pets are also your children, and you know them best. Dogs are never unsecure, off leash, or group walked, unless they live in the same household, while I am with them. Many of the pets I visit with have anxiety issues. These can range from mild to severe, and I have the knowledge to handle most cases. I will at times offer suggestions to help with your pet's comfort and happiness, but you are the owner and have final say on any changes.
