I grew up with dogs in my house at all time. My mom groomed and boarded dogs. We were allowed any pets as long as we took care of them. I have had (and currently still have some) dogs, hampsters, rabbits, birds, rats, mice, cats, turtles, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, and even a raccoon. I foster for a local pet rescue and have been walking and boarding my freinds pets for several years. I just have had a life long love of animals. I am the person stopping to catch a loose dog or helping a injured wild animal. My daughters have my same love of animals and love meeting new furry friends. We would love to take care of your pet when you are out!
