I have grown up in a house with currently 15 cats, have had plenty more, have had a total of 8 dogs! I love all animals and have had everything from birds pigs snakes lizards and even a pig! I can assure you I can give your dog the love and care you would prefer from a dog sitter, I love all animals as my own! I do have experience giving dogs oral medications and am educated on some animal medical conditions as well.
