Growing up my parents took in abandoned birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles. I have bottle fed baby birds and litters of kittens and puppies. In jr high and high school, I provided house cleaning for my grandparents and shampooed their 8 poodles weekly to pay for my lunches and sports. I understand the importance of connection, communication, empathy, and compassion required to care for animals. I have never not had pet/s my entire life. I am a mother of three kids, two dogs, and I would love to be get to know your pet/s and provide them the care they need when you are unable or away.
