Animals are very important for me, they always come first (ask my hsuband ;) Growing up my parents surronded me with animals: cats, rabbit, guinea pig, birds, peacocks... All my babies have crossed the rainbow bridge now... I took care of my cat (Chat) since she was a baby, and she passed away when she turned 19. She had special needs during the last couple of years: it was my duty and a pleasure to take good care of her. I was very observant and attentive to the slighest change in her behavior. I used to give injections and oral medicine. I had my perfect donkey (Coco) for 30 years, and 3 amazing rats (Raton, Dune and Jaws), unfortunately only for 2 years. My husband and myself are now a foster family for any animals in need of a break from the difficult shelter life. First, we got Robbie (lab) for a month. Then we saved Billie (bull terrier) from euthanasia and we kept her for 7 months and we finally found her forever family. I always spend a lot of time with my pets, just being with them, talking to them (my cat loved to answer ;). I am always amazed by their way of communicating with us, by learning new things all their life... I have been a petsitter in Paris, France, for two years, then moved to Los Angeles, where I resumed the petsitting as soon as I arrived. I take care of various cats: siblings or by themselves, old or babies, sick or healthy, reluctant or welcoming, shy or playful, torpid or happy, calm or crazy...! Same with pups: small or big, well behaved or less well behaved ;), puppies or seniors... I took care of birds, lizards, rodents... Regardless of species, breed, size or gender, I love all animals and want for all of them happiness, well-being and great care. I am well known for being patient with the animals, taking funny and pretty pictures of the pets I sit for their parents, and to talk to them all the time!
