I grew up around dogs all of my life, specifically. My very first dog was a toy poodle named Fifi. My parents bought her when I was a young child. Every since then I have been bound to love dogs. When she died in 2001, we ended up having 3 poodles in the house by 2007, Duece (13 yrs, old) and Pheobe (11 yrs. old) who birthed Buttons (9yrs. old). Now at 26 years old, away from my parent's home, I own 2 boy Malti-poos named Polo, 3 yrs. old & Louie, 2 yrs. old. I am an excellent care giver/provider. I make sure that my boys are top priority. I even groom them myself because I noticed they were frightened every time I took them to the groomer, so I had to teach myself the basics. Recently, I have been pet-sitting my friend's 2 dogs (a poodle, 1 yr. old and Shih tzu, 8 yrs.old) every time she is out of town or take them on walks while she is working during the weekday. Thankfully, being a self-employed seamstress makes time for a flexible schedule. I am the perfect fit to take care of your animal because I treat all animals with respect and love as if they are my own. My friends and family give me praise for having the ability to connect with any animal, even the so-called "mean" ones. My spirit is gentle and open. I do not panic in high stress situations, instead I relax and make rational decisions.
