About: I am a 6 cat and 1 dog daddy who would love to help you out with your pets in your time of need. I do a lot of rescue work so I am familiar with all breeds of dogs and cats. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I am a HUGE animal lover (well except maybe snakes and spiders but I still won't kill them) and am willing to work out a way that I can help you out with your pet(s). I have a very flexible work schedule as I share a job with my mom. So I can easily work around any schedule to make things happen. I currently have 6 cats and a recent foster fail dog (He was such a good boy he isn't going anywhere) and would like to help take care of your animals when needed. I am a pet lover, always have been. I do a lot of rescue (hence where my recent dog came from. We were doing a transportation rescue for a Boston Terrier from South Carolina and my pup was an add on the day of transport) and am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
