I have always been very passionate about caring for animals. When I was younger I worked as a veterinary technician. If necessary I can provide a vet reference. I have been a pet owner for about 30 years now, so I know how important our pets are. In my home, they are treated as family members. I am very comfortable with and have owned both cats and dogs. I can handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I WANT you pets to love your pets to love me. I am comfortable with long walks, short walks, fast walks, slow walks. I understand special needs like coats, booties, ect. I own 7 cats myself. I am comfortable administering medication and can follow strict dietary needs and schedules.
