love animals, lots of experience

Pet care experience

I have a dog of my own, a very high-energy fun-loving terrier! I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, bunnies, and fish. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. I have experience administering both oral and injection medicines to cats and dogs. I’ve done basic training with dogs before, including with puppies. I can take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, on bike paths, to dog parks, or other fun things your dog likes. I also have a dog-friendly car if the need arises.

We have hired Tess on and off for about 2 years to walk our dog and stay with her over the weekend when we travel. She is almost always available, even on short notice. She takes great care of our doodle and Cassie is always happy to see her. The house is always in great shape as well. We really appreciate her!

I know that some dogs can have big personalities, and I’ve worked with many different kinds. Just let me know how you want me to handle things the way you would.
