I have been working with dogs for 15 years. I am Canine and Feline certified and have completed a course in reading canine body language. I know some basic vet tech knowledge and signs of stress and I am also trained in giving deworming medicine and administering shots to dogs and cats as I have previously cared for a cat with Diabeties. I also have experience working in a grooming salon as a Bather/Dryer so I have no problem giving a bath to anyone that needs one or a quick nail trim. My passion in life has always been animals and I have had more dogs and cats then I can count on both hands and now I am living my dream of working with dogs at a popular doggie daycare in Rhode Island. My mornings are spent with a group of at least 20-40 dogs playing in an off leash facility either playing ball, working on commands or just giving belly scratches and my afternoons are spent at home with my own two dogs, a 6 year old Chihuahua who just wants to sleep on or next to me and my first rescue who is still a puppy at 8 months old and loves to learn new tricks and chase his toys around. Why I love dog sitting I've been a animal lover since I was a child, as early as I can remember I wanted to be a veterinarian so I could help fix all the sick animals. I've always had animals growing up and my very first dog was a German Shepard named Buddy. I have had cats, dogs, hamsters, rats and fish. The only animals I fear is snakes. I have worked in a variety of animal care settings such as pet stores, grooming salons and pet hotels so I had been in a wide range of environments to work from. My favorite was the Pet hotel/Doggie Daycare because of the wide variation in breeds that you see coming in. My experience administering medication I have no problems with administering medications, one of my previous landlords had a cat that I would watch for her that had Diabetes and needed her insulin shots twice a day along with strict dietary food for weight management, her name was Savannah and she recently passed away.
