I have worked with dogs my entire life. I treat my dogs as my children. I have been a vet tech for 10+ years, with some emergency hospital background. I know what to do in case of a medical emergency and I know what to look for as far as certain medical conditions go. If there are certain restrictions or special instructions I am happy to accommodate those. If the weather is pretty we may go walk around at the park with your permission. I am also happy to check mail, water plants, and scoop kitty litter if needed. I am also comfortable taking your dog or cat to a Veterinary appointment if needed. I have 3 dogs of my own each with their own quirks so I am used to doing what is needed for their individual needs.
