Born and raised on the island of Hawaii, I have Bachelor's Degrees in English and Fine Arts and am currently working as a high school teacher. Outside of school hours, my schedule is very flexible and I am able to stay overnight with dogs and cats without a problem. During summer and winter, I'm able to spend even more time with your beloved pets, as I won't have to go in to work with my students. I have experience in watching older cats and dogs, puppies and kittens and, on a couple of occasions, horses. I pride myself in thoroughly following directions and making sure your pet gets the proper care that they need, whether it be specific feeding instructions or making sure they take their medication. Being an animal lover, I also don't mind sharing couch and bed space with them -- as long as it's allowed. I look forward to meeting you and your precious animals soon.
