I grew up near a state park and lived alongside the wildlife it had to offer (gators, deer, black bears, reptiles, even a FL panther...). My pet experience began with my sweet puppy of 17 years. I was so excited to adopt my own dog, and my parents helped me prepare by giving me books and films on dog training. I watched her grow and change through all her stages of life (puppy to very geriatric); she passed last year and was the best girl. Grad school turned me into a cat mom of 2, and they probably know as much about the Krebs cycle as I do. I've been pet-sitting since I was 8 years old. I love animals, I love being outside, I would love to care for your pet!
