I've been a dog-owner for fifteen years and have experience with both caring for puppies and senior dogs. I currently own a ten year old lab and owned a golden retriever in the past, so I am aware of the joys (and specificity) that caring for animals brings! I am experienced with providing care in various areas, including but not limited to: administering oral and topical medications, walking, bathing and brushing, feeding, routinely exercising/playing, etc. Aside from caring for my own dogs, I have dog-sat longterm in the past and cared for smaller dogs with particular medical needs. I have been a regular care provider for an extended period of time (ex: two to three weeks), as well as short-term care. I can care for fish, dogs, cats, hermit crabs, and birds as I have experience with owning/caring such animals. I have also provided care to ducks and chickens, so I have a wide-range of experience.
