I have had pets since I was very young. My grandparents had a wonderful pack of dogs that I spent a lot of time with. I have owned cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters, birds, fish and lizards. I volunteered at a local reptile store and worked with animals for an educational children's show. Over my life I have worked with domestic pets and a variety of wild animals. I have rescued animals and aided in care of others animals. I rescued 3 ferrets, kept them as my own and they lived 10+ years. I currently have a goofy black cat named Max, the silliest tabby named Kit and the outside colony cat, Tigger. I can bathe animals, feed them, train them and give lots and lots of pets. I am the member of the family who had the pleasure of leash training all of our dogs. I am a freelance artist, as well as working full time at a medical office. When caring for someone else's pet in their home I always make sure I am respectful of their space and needs, and their pets space and needs. Every pet will differ so it's important to be aware of each individuals needs.
