About: I grew up with dogs of my own and in more recent years have accumulated a few cats as well. I have had some experience working in an animal hospital and have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets for years. I have a very caring and gentle approach, but can care for pets of all sizes. I have cared for seniors and have been known to spoil pets rotten. Pet care is my sole focus and at this time my schedule is very open. I am available any time and day of the week. Personally, I view animals more as my equal and friend rather than pets. I strive to understand and respect their boundaries and let them be their natural selves rather than expecting them to act as a human. I let my animals see me as their friend who simply shares a home with mutual respect for each other. However, I am very good at following instructions and upholding any rules that any pet owners may have for their homes.
