We will be taking care of your family member as a family. My wife started dog sitting as a young adult for a large Rottweiler. Over the years we have taken care of many dogs for friends and family. We have experience with small, big, young and old. We currently have a dog we rescued from the Providence Animal Shelter (very spoiled). My wife is a nurse and I am an EMT. We are very comfortable with dog with health problems. We have experience with subcutaneous fluid infusions in a cat with kidney failure. We are also comfortable with medications, skin care, and wound care. There will be somebody home to care for your furry friend most of the day which makes us flexible to meet your needs. We are able to block off rooms in the house if your dog needs alone time or special one on one time.
