I have always loved animals and have owned, loved and cared for a wide range of species. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, and various bird and reptile species. I have trained, handled and shown my and others' dogs in obedience and confirmation. I've worked with all breeds and ages ranging from six weeks old to 15+ years old. My experience also includes managing a doggy daycare solo with 25+ dogs per day and also providing basic grooming services (brushing, bathing, nail trims). I have house sat for up to 8 dogs in a house at one time. I've provided pet care for friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and even breeders. I can follow written and verbal instructions and have no trouble administering medications and/or supplements.
