I have two cats and four dogs that I care for in my own household. Three of the dogs are chihuahuas so I am good with handling and caring for smaller dogs. My other dog is elderly and needs multiple medications administered to him twice daily, so I am very comfortable caring for higher maintenance and elderly animals. I love all animals really, just more comfortable with my furry friends, I've cat-sat as well as dog-sat for friends and family, so I do have experience and follow directions provided by the owners strictly! I treat animals with the utmost respect as they provide a form of companionship that is inexplicable and should not be taken for granted!
