Experience: 17 yrs
I have 3 years of professional experience dog sitting, walking, training and cat sitting for two different pet care companies. I worked with all kinds of breeds, including special needs breeds like Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and Dalmatians. I did one-on-one training with 15+ dogs regularly, was a daily dog walker for 5+ dogs and regularly walking up to 3 dogs at a time, as well as frequent overnight pet sitting. I am experienced with meeting needs of senior and special needs pets, including administering medication. I am also trained in dog CPR. In addition, I have many years of experience sporadically watching people's pets when they go on trips or have difficult work schedules. I am knowledgeable, reliable, very caring, and happy to provide trusted care for your pets while you're away. Personally, I have been parent to two dogs and 6 cats throughout my life, my current cat, Spazzy, I have had for 14 years.
