I have spent my life working and studying with animals. I was luckily enough to be surrounded with and allowed to take care of a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, fish and even penguins and otters. I am comfortable with and have experience working with large, young and/or active dogs, as well as elderly and disabled animals (I previously owned a 16-year-old dachshund that was mostly deaf and blind and required regular medication). I am friendly, reliable, I have a flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pet while you're away!
