I worked as a veterinary technician for 25 years. I worked with dogs, cats, birds and other small animals. I also spent my whole career working as a wildlife rehabber. I have canine and avian training and behavior experience. I have lots of experience in pet/ house sitting and can provide recommendations and references if needed. I prefer to have pets stay at my home if overnight boarding is needed. I will make exceptions depending on your location. I have my Mom living with me, she is able to get around but I perfer to be close by if she needs me. I will treat your pets as my own when they are in my care. I do ask that if they come to my home they are vet checked yearly for parasites and are flea free.
