At the ripe age of 12 my neighbors started having me animal sit for dogs, cats, hogs, horses, chickens, cows, birds etc. I've been the place where people send the animals they can no longer care for which has resulted in me owning a few birds, my current cat, and even a tarantula. I raised chickens my whole life and have a 21 year old cockatiel I got when I was just 11 years old. My home has always been where friends send their critters when they need a change of pace or their parents go on vacation. When their humans can't provide enough attention and a little extra stimulation is what the doctor ordered, well Auntie Alison is the remedy. From brushing, cuddles, home made meals, to walks to burn of energy; my fur family is always excited to return. I also get house calls to a friends ranch of 4 dogs, 5 cats, chickens, and sometimes livestock too. I do housecleaning to better there environment when their humans are gone which can be stressful. Overall, I enjoy the company of animals and the exercise we can get together. It's great for all involved. Thanks.
