I've taken care of dogs and cats (and more!) throughout my life and currently have two sweet and goofy dogs. I love all animals, and also have a Leopard Gecko, but would have more (cats, rabbits, guinea pigs!) if my budget and house could accommodate it. I've raised two dogs from puppy-hood so have some experience with positive-reinforcement training methods for dogs. One of my previous dogs also had severe epilepsy, which gave me lots of experience administering various medications, which I've also done for friends cats that I've sat for. It also means I'm also sadly very familiar with the worry that goes along with having a pet with special needs, especially when you aren't home. On top of that, I've also helped care for friends aging dogs, some of whom had difficulty walking and needed assistive carry devices to go to the bathroom outside. Whatever your needs, I will approach your pets with compassion and loving care.
