I've had and been around animals my whole long life of 35 years.. I love dogs of all sizes and cats of all personalities...I have experience in just about anything that needs a companion-house, pets and people. I've met all of one dog in my life that I wasn't immediate friends with, but apparently she doesn't like anybody... I don't feel too bad on that one. Even shy dogs get used to me pretty quick. Ive also had experience with board and care working in a kennel. I think in most cases if possible it's important that our furry friends get to stay in their own homes so they are in familiar surroundings and routines... I am between orange and la counties and can be in either locations if needed
