I will maintain any habits you have for your pet. Yes on furniture, no on furniture. Yes to crate(I have large and small crates) or no crate. Special diet or simple diet. Etc. I have experience with giving meds- oral, topical, injection (intramuscular or subcutaneous...not intravenous), ear meds, wound care. I have 2 small dogs. But if you dog doesn't appreciate other dogs, I can easily keep them separated. My yard is securely fenced and I have dog doors for anytime access and can be closed for any reason ex: at night etc. I am very trainable to care for your pet the way you want them to be treated.

Pets

Gentle, loving caregiver.

Pet care experience

I love all dogs and cats, and birds. My whole life I have had dogs and cats. Over many years, my pets have been schnauzer mix, sheepdog mix, rottweiler, pitbull mix, boxer mixes, and now Yorkie mixes. I am strong and love to walk dogs and play. I allow pets on furniture and beds. But if you don't want your pet to bring these habits to your home, I will honor your requests to keep them off the furniture. I am experienced with bathing dogs, but I am not a groomer or nail trimmer. I am energetic and attentive to your pets needs. Senior dog care is my specialty. I have soft pet stairs to get to the couch and bed. I have a pet stroller for sniffing and sight seeing without over exertion. We also have pet pads and diapers if incontinence is an issue. Our home is clean and pet friendly/safe. We are looking forward to caring for your pet🐕
