I am new fairly new to California. A rookie per se. I was born and grew up in Virginia. I have clients from VA that miss my services. I am a responsible 62 year old that works full time. So my schedule would mostly be evenings and weekends. I have only the strongest love for animals. We as humans bring these pets into our lives and they love you with no boundaries. It is only fair that we love them back. So being someone to care for your baby when you need help, is something I would love to do. I grew up surrounded by animals, from little gerbils to fish, both dogs and cats, reptiles. I was the one who would find strays and bring them home. Our home was always filled. My sister married into a pet store business and they have a house full of pets. I was their pet sitter and have sat with their Labs as well as their parrot. They will miss my services. My friends have used me to pet sit their cats, to feed fish, to feed their lizard and gerbils. I have even been an Auntie to a hermit crab. Today, because of busy schedule I don't have my own cat or dog. I have owned birds, but my birds lived about 30 years, then passed. I have not replaced them, because sometimes it is hard to do. My pets were my babies. To have the chance to walk dogs, feed cats, play with animals... well that is just a great opportunity.
