I have worked for veterinarians over 9 years. I have always had dogs and cats for the last 45 years. And do private babysitting in my home for canines. I love animals and the ones I do watch are never crated they have access to my home. A doggie door available for the outside yard. I can give references if needed I have watched. I have also worked in the medical field and enable to assist in the care of puppies and medication to be given. When staying in my home, it can stay on the schedule there used to being fed 2 to 3 times a day but specialty food that is needed to be brought in by the owners. Vaccines must be current.
