As a former veterinary assistant, and animal biology student, I know everything there is to know about our canine/feline friends (and other furry pals!) and their care. Despite changing course in my professional life, my love of animals is unwavering. I am responsible, flexible, energetic and on the ball. Willing to travel (as long as it's not terribly far and / or accessible via public transit). About this sitter: Lifelong animal/dog lover and former veterinary assistant/animal biology student. I grew up in a household with dogs (and cats!) and cannot think of a better way to spend my time than walking a dog, playing, or cuddling with a little furry friend. I also believe my experience as a former student of veterinary medicine, and employee at an animal hospital, sets me apart. You can feel at ease knowing that I'm looking after your pup, as I have seen it all and am very comfortable with animals, responsible, and knowledgeable when it comes to animals and their well-being. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. As a child, I grew up in a very lively household in which we always had at least two dogs and two cats. My childhood would not have been the same otherwise. Animals, and especially dogs, are the most wonderful companions. Although I don't (yet) have a dog of my own, I would love the opportunity to care for your little one and spoil them rotten until your return. My experience administering medication Absolutely. As a former veterinary assistant, I have plenty of experience in administering medicine. I can even clip claws and clean ears, if needed!
