I have 10+ years of experience caring for other people's animals. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, but I have also taken care of birds, hamsters, and chickens. In my personal life, I have had pets since I was 7 years old. I got my first dog when our family was given a 5 year old golden retriever. She was beyond sweet, and just needed more attention than her family could give her. My brothers and I were just the kids for that job! That was when I really fell in love with dogs and I have loved them since. We got another golden a few years later and he will be 13 years old this year. About the time we got our second dog, a stray kitten showed up at our house. She was my first cat, she had kittens a few years later! We kept two of them. The most recent addition to my zoo is a stray kitten I found in a parking lot. I had a bleeding heart moment, and now she sleeps in my bed. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets, and seeing how we can work together to give your pets the best possible care!
