About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 years old, mainly dogs, but cats included. I have potty trained, crate trained and leash/harness trained animals for 5 years. I also am a Pharmacy Technician, as well as have experience working at a Veterinarian office, so administering medication is no problem for me! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the time. When I am gone, I put my dog, as well as any others that I am watching, in their kennels. My dog does get water in his kennel, but not food. I do whatever the owner of the animal I am watching prefers for their animals, as each is different! My house has a large, unfenced yard; however, my dog runs freely, as he does not like to venture far off. I am far enough off the road that I have never had a problem with dogs getting loose. I only do what the owner of the pet is comfortable with, so if you would like you dog to stay on a leash the entire time outside, I will gladly do that! My fiancé lives with me, and he loves dogs just as much as I do, so you can ensure that your baby is getting lots of cuddle time! I have a miniature Dachshund, who is 8 months old, so he is full of energy. He has never met an animal that he does not love, however, some older dogs tend to get annoyed by him when he tries to get them to play with him, because he does not stop trying to get them to play. He gets along with cats as well!
