This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have watched all the way from Situs to Labrador retrievers. Many of them require walks which I will do. I play outside with balls or Frisbees to give the dogs more exercise. On two occasions, I have transported two dogs to animal clinics or a animal hospitals, one had surgery later, and one was somewhat sick not requiring hospitalization. I developed a form for clients to fill out to go over specific feeding instructions, taking medication, name of vet in case of emergency. Also, I instruct the owners to please notify their vet. that I will be watching their pet during their absence. Also, I have names of relatives or others having keys (since I was locked out one time for 24 hours). I have owned dogs in the past. Right now we have only one cat, our two oldest died in 2013 and 2014. They were both 18 years old. We are still heartbroken over losing them particularly since the mother cat was a feral that we domesticated all those many years ago. My qualifications are the many years experience I have.
