I have been a life long animal enthusiast. I began taking care of my personal pets around 14 years old, and have consistently owned animals ever since. I am a teacher full time until May 28th. From May to August, I just dedicate my time to my kiddos, pets, and reading. I have experience with dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, snakes, turtles, and fish. I have cared for both babies and elderly pets. I have never used training techniques that involve pain or hitting. I have Endless patience. I teaching for a living, so I can handle just about any situation. I am free all afternoons and weekends. After May 28th, I am free all day every day. I teach full time, so during the summer I have all of my time available for keeping pets. We generally go to bed early, and get up early as well. My house is quite large. We do have our pets inside sometimes, but primarily they enjoy being outside. Our floors are scratch and water proof, so we can have the pets inside anywhere. We have a large unfenced yard in the country with a large fenced in area for our large dogs. I am comfortable with walking dogs on leash or supervising them in a fenced in area. I can take care of feeding, bathing, brushing, playing, and any other activity. I have also potty trained, litter trained, bottle fed, and leash trained my pets when necessary.
