I have been a passionate pet caregiver for over 16 years. It's been my pleasure looking after many different cats & dogs. I've looked after pets with special needs, geriatric issues, blindness, partial blindness, physical ailments, as well as those who need special accommodations and have medication requirements, & special dietary needs, etc. I look forward to getting to know & look after your furbaby. In caring for blind & partially blind dogs & cats, I've learned to zero in on the signs to watch for, & the cues to give, to meet their needs. When I leave the home of a pet that I'm caring for, it brings me immeasurable joy knowing that they feel loved, safe, happy & content. Caring for them, while their owners are away, & giving them comfort is one of my greatest joys. It started with learning how to care for our family parrot, cockatiel & my 1st cat! In the years since I have owned & cared for a number of cats & dogs. Exercising, playing & snuggling with pets, is one of my favorite pastimes. With my love for interacting with dogs & cats, I have gravitated towards others who feel the same. Through this I have met my friend Mary, who is an enthusiastic long time pet caregiver. Through our friendship, I have gained many new insights in looking after dogs & cats who are blind or partially blind, & may be living with physical ailments, which include arthritis & cardiac conditions. In eleven years time, helping to take care of my sisters dog,  has not only benefited me with the knowledge of puppy care & training, but also now her geriatric & cardiac needs. In 2013 I adopted Roara, my red tabby who is full of personality! From early on, I took steps to assure that my cat would get along with other dogs, especially our family dogs (1 large & 1 small). I trained Roara early on to walk on a leash, come when called, & to enjoy playing fetch, swimming, & so much more. Dogs & cats of all sizes & breeds deserve the best love & care. Let me give them the attention & love they deserve, when you can’t be with them.
