I became completely responsible for my own puppy when I was 9 years old. I fed her, walked her, and I was a nurturing mother to her. I made sure I played with her, and gave her ample attention. My doggie ended up becoming my best friend and was so from age 9 until age 19. I treat pets with the same unconditional love and care as I treat sweet little children. I am also currently caring for my roommates dog and have been for 5 months. I am like a mother and best friend to her, and I can be the same to your lovely pets! Rest assured that in my care, your animal will be in great healing hands, and they will most definitely have a great time and make a new friend. :)
