I am a lifelong animal lover and pet mother that has experience with almost any kind of species you can think of: dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, birds, bunnies, tarantulas, turtles, etc. I am from Philadelphia where I was the primary caretaker of my family dog, who, when we got him, was a rowdy and unpredictable American Pitbull. However under my care he mellowed to the very respectful boy he is today, and received the proper exercise for a pitbull of his size, which included plenty of long walks & hikes.
