Animals are a big part of my life and they make my day infinitely better. How can anyone resist a cuddle and a few pats with an animal? I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats and have owned a variety of each throughout my life. I have cared for small and large dogs and understand their temperament and needs. My experience with cats is extensive and I have built trust with fearful or timid animals who are unsure about a new person in their home. I establish a rapport with each animal and take their lead on how much attention, play time and affection they need. I am able to walk your dog and adjust to the animal’s needs - slow for the older dogs and active for more energetic dogs. I have experience in administering medication both oral and topical and actively monitor an animal’s welfare and report any changes or concerns. I will communicate with you regularly on your animal’s progress while you are away and raise any concerns on their wellbeing. I think that animals are great companions in our life journey, but leave us all too soon. My life is richer for having shared it with some beautiful souls.
