I have been taking care of animals for most of my life...mostly dogs and cats, but have been taking care of others...family, friends, and acquaintances, for the past dozen years or so. I am patient, reliable, and am good at following instructions. I want you to have the best experience possible when using my services, so please let me know if your pets have any special dietary and/or playtime needs. And besides dogs and cats, I also have experience taking care of birds, lizards, and turtles, if your needs require. I prefer smaller breeds, but am open to caring for larger dogs as well (I have taken care of dobermans and pit bulls in the past). In addition to walking and checking in, I am also willing to stay at your place if that's needed and when my schedule permits.
