Experience: 3 yrs
I stayed at a family's house for 2 weeks with their 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I did have to take her to the vet for an infection and make sure she took her meds. I have 3 cats, and know how to take care of them. I make sure they're litter boxes get cleaned out daily, and change the litter weekly. They eat once or twice a day, depending on how long we'll be gone. I've taken care of a 3 legged dog for a month in my home. Took her for walks, played with her, tried to teach her some tricks (she wasn't interested). I love all kinds of animals and am willing to take care of any animal, as long as I meet the animal(s) before I take care of them for an extended period of time.
Megan was fantastic. She went above and beyond, coming to the house earlier in the week to meet the dogs. She communicated very well and sent photos. My dogs loved her and she was a huge help to me!
