As a stay at mom, I have the flexibility to help you care for your pets. Personally, I have owned two dogs. I currently have a husky mix and she is 11 years old. My previous dog was a cocker spaniel. He was given to me as a child and after I completed college, he came to live with me full time. He was 12 years old by then and he lived to be 16. I also have experience with ferrets and would enjoy spending some time with them. I do not have experience with rodents or reptiles but I am willing learn. No snakes or spiders though! ;) I would gladly stay at your home overnight as long as I have breaks to come home during the day because I have two children and my husband has to leave for work on weekdays by 6:30 am.
