Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Serena and I've had a variety of pets since I was 14 years old, including dogs, cats and rats. I am very attentive and affectionate with all animals. I currently have a 3-year old chihuahua/lab mix named Nugget who lives to meet and play with doggy friends. I've raised and trained Nugget and my previous dog since they were puppies. I have 2 years of dog sitting and overnight boarding experience with my neighbor's 3 year old Berniedoodle, who I care for up to 5 days/week. I have experience administering pills and liquid medications, and managing special dietary needs.
