On my second date with my now-husband, I told him that I would bring home 20 stray cats, he would cry and beg me not to bring home any more and I still would anyway. Luckily for me, he shrugged and said, "I like cats." Why is this relevant? Because my pets have always been my top priority! Today we are happily married, living in South Salem, run a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue and have 2 dogs and 8 special needs cats. I provide them with the best care available and that's exactly what I intend to provide your pets: the best care available! I have experience with almost every kind of pet: cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice... this could continue for a long time. Rather then do that, I'd love to tell you how I can help your pet when you need it. I will provide them the same standard of care and love that I provide my own animals! I have experience administering medication and subcutaneous fluids, and am sensitive to a variety of behavioral and medical challenges that may concern you when you can't be there for them. We like to do enrichment activities like lick-i-mats and treat puzzles. My dog, Cole, loves to play. If your dog does too, there will be lots of playtime! Couch potatoes welcome too--your dog can "help" me work! My home has a fenced in yard that your dog can enjoy. We have a pool, but dogs are never left unsupervised for their safety. Your dog will rarely, if ever, be alone and definitely not lonely! And we prioritize your dog and make them feel like a member of the family. Still not sure if I am the right fit? I'm happy to chat with you or set up a meet and greet before you commit! Our schedule revolves around our pets and we are almost always home. When I have drop in visits and walks scheduled, my husband is home with the dogs. We have two dogs that love to play. We take introduction very slowly to ensure all dogs have a safe and fun experience. We have a pool in the back yard but never leave dogs unattended in the back yard.
