Animals haven been a fundamental part of my life for as long as I can recall. I've owned (or more appropriately, been owned by) a wide array of different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, ducks, parakeets, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even a chameleon! In short, I have extensive experience caring for a multitude of animals, big and small. I live an active lifestyle and love being outdoors, making me an ideal dog walker/runner. At the same time, I work from home and create my own schedule, enabling me to provide attention and exercise at the times you prefer, in addition to frequent and dependable care when house/animal sitting. Growing up, I was personally responsible for a number of our animals; a genius ploy for my parents to instill life lessons at an early age that continue into adulthood. The animals I called my own included: Labrador Retriever & Chow Chow Mix, Labrador Retriever & German Shepherd Mix, Domestic Shorthair Cat, and Panther Chameleon. At the moment, I am the human slave to a 6-year old Domestic Longhair & Maine Coon cross, Luna and 1-year old Belgian Malinois, Freya -- both of whom keep me busy! I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, older canines and felines, as well as dogs and cats with special needs. I love all critters, regardless of their age, breed, personality, size, and health. I would be thrilled and honored to care for your beloved furry (or not so furry) family members!
