I've taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. My childhood pups were both black labs named Jack and Lucy who both lived to be over 15. I had a pet rabbit named Seamus for 10 years who lived in my apartment and was free to roam. Experience giving meds, going for walks/runs, giving baths, cleaning litter boxes, dog parks, fetch, potty training, teaching new tricks, etc. I've house/dog-sat many times before. I just spent a week in Denver house/dog sitting for my friends (they have a 4 month old Boston Terrier, a 5 year old Boston Terrier, and a 15 year old mix). The 15 year old has stayed with me on multiple occasions when his dad was out of town.
