DOG WALKER AND PET CARE (Salt Lake City)

DOG WALKER AND PET CARE: Mature woman in excellent health who has a graduate degree in Social Work in Gerontology (great for working with older pets!). Recently left the Dept of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in SLC. I've had numerous dogs and cats during my life and have taken in strays for care. While growing up on a homestead in Maine I helped my family care for rabbits, goats, dogs, cats, and chickens. During my years as a graduate student I cared for my neighbors' dogs. I am honest, punctual, kind, caring, responsible, detail-oriented, sensitive, hardworking and intelligent. As a member of the Franciscan Ecumenical Order, I have a very deep and abiding love for all living creatures. I will brush, massage, feed, water, brush teeth, clip nails, scoop droppings, and just sit with your pets and love them as much as you do. Limited area between the Avenues and 3500 South and 2100 East and 600 East. Will do overnight stays with established clients. Lana Lorenzen, (please call between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm)
