I have always had a pet of my own beginning around 10 yrs. of age. I've had dogs, birds, lizards, turtles, frogs and cats, and often pet sit for family and friends. Since I do not have a full-time job I am available 24/7. I love being outdoors and taking long hikes or playing in the water. I love all animals and am willing to care for all furred, feathered, and scaled family members. I feel sometimes that I relate better with animals than humans. Animals are straight forward, they let you know how they are feeling and what they think about you. My family has always told me that I have a way with animals. I thrive off of puppy kisses and cuddles, for sure.
