My family and myself have given our hearts to dogs for generations. They have always been considered a part of the family. I am also a nurse, & very dependable. I would be capable of taking care of a dog with special needs or a dog that was ill ; such as post-op or needing medication. I have experience with service dogs for children on the Autism Spectrum. I am available most weekends, and I can work flexible hours. I have been employed locally with the State of Fl Health Dept., and in Gainesville as a nurse, mostly working with children with special needs. I am energetic , and love the outdoors, but also would enjoy just sitting and petting or talking to an older or less energetic dog than myself.
