I am a huge animal lover! I have cared for my own pets along with house/pet sitting for family and friends. I have cared for ferrets, cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and birds. I have cared for senior dogs with health issues. I am very reliable, patient, and responsible. I love every pet as my own. I am comfortable with giving medicines orally.I am comfortable with giving shots if I am shown how beforehand. I do require meeting the pets at least once before I start sitting with them. I do work 8 hours 5 days a week.I make sure to get up in time to exercise the pets before work and then again once I get back from work. I can ask for a shorter day if I am given plenty of notice. I also do light cleaning and water plants.
