Animals are my life!

Pet care experience

I go above and beyond. I also bath them if needed. I’ve groomed them if needed. I will abide by rules you give me. If they stay overnight,they will have their own pillow to lay their heads on. I’m not afraid of pet”accidents” Picking up poo does not faze me. I f needed,I will sing them to sleep. I’ve been called Dr. Doolittle. We all need to realize,pets live to make us happy. They deserve as much respect as humans. I grew up with pets my whole life. As of January 22, we lost our 12 1/2 yr old Boxer,Vegas. I’m not ready for another yet. I hope I see a pet everyday. If so,my day is complete. I care for all animals as if they were my own. Due to a recent situation,I can only watch dogs,that get along with other dogs. They don’t need to be buddies,but,must be peaceful with other dogs. I take 1-5 dogs ! My 17 year old son is my second hand ❣️

Beans had such a fun time that he wasn’t ready to leave once we came home. It was great to know that our boy was being taken care of so well while we were gone!
