ABOUT ME: I grew up with multiple pets of various sizes and species (from a great Dane to newborn kittens and from turtles, tropical fish, a rat, a guinea pig, and even a skunk!. I continue to be a pet owner. At one time my husband and I were the proud owners of a blind cat who also had congestive heart failure. I have cared for neighbors' pets over the years, as well. I enjoy walking dogs for exercise, playing with pets, and caring for both dogs and cats. I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid procedures by the American Red Cross Training Services. AVAILABILITY I am a retired teacher of students with special needs and am enjoying my flexible schedule now. I am available to pet sit most days of the week and times of the day and I am willing to do overnight stays in a clean, smoke-free environment. I will bring my own food with me for overnight stays.
