I live in a two-story house with ample space for up to two buddies. I have experience in giving medication, caring for wounds and surgical stitches, and crating if requested. I’m comfortable and patient with animals who are scared, shy, high-energy, vocal, and everywhere in between. Dogs I've had in adulthood & teen years include a Golden Retriever, a German Shorthair Pointer, two hound mixes, a cattle dog mix, and a pittie/staffie mix, all rescues. I had cats throughout childhood, and I'm fairly experienced around horses. I'm a competent intermediate rider, have worked as a carriage handler in Chicago, and am familiar with their food, exercise and grooming needs and their nonverbal cues. I'm open to house-sitting for farm animals upon request.
