Pet care experience
Hello pet owners: I've grown around animals most of my life. As a child I played with all kinds of farm animals at my grandparent's country home, and growing up in the city we always had a pet around to spoil. At this time two dogs call us their humans (Skippy the pit mix and Pepper the little fur ball whom the vet calls a terrier mix). I love animals and especially dogs, and now that my son is ready for school so it's time to do something good with my spare time, just as I did several years back while living in Philadelphia. I became a foster mom to several kittens and some dogs for the ASPCA, as well as helping at the city shelter cleaning cages and walking dogs. I really enjoy working with animals and spending time with them. I will do my best to make them happy while they're in my care, and that's a promise. Please give me a try!

Why I love dog sitting Since I can remember, I've always been surrounded by animals and I love them all. As a child my parents didn't allow dogs at home but we had other pets (fish, birds, turtles). Once I married and had my own place we finally got our first dog, Lars. Then came his sister Sasha. After my parents divorced they both got dogs (go figure!), so every time I visited we were always surrounded by canines. My brother and sister also have several dogs each. I have been a volunteer at various shelters and rescues, and now we live with two great dogs named Skippy and Pepper, one was adopted from Philadelphia Animal Care and Control only days from being euthanized, the other picked up from the streets of West San Antonio. So, basically I've lived with dogs for the past 18 years (that's how long I've been married).
