I love animals of all kinds, especially dogs! I used to work with dogs and only stopped because of starting college. I am gentle but firm and will keep up with any ongoing training the owner requests. I can give medications, have experience with shy and fearful dogs, and know generally what to expect. I air on the cautious side and will let owners know any concerns as they arise. Personally, my dog is very timid and has a hard time when I travel without her, getting a caretaker can be a challenge in such situations and I can empathize with the difficulty. I can give updates whenever I visit to any concerned owners. ***I have experience caring for and feeding other animals including snakes, lizards, various insects, tarantulas, frogs, rodents, ferrets, and aquatic animals. I am flexible and would be open to caring for any additional animals!
