Growing up, we had various family pets: cats, dogs, and even a crow during a short period in my early teens. I've had my two chihuahuas for over seven years. They are less than a year apart, but not from the same parents. I adopted both shortly after they were old enough to be taken home. They're an integral part of my family & I can't imagine my life without them. I love being able to earn a living by helping people take care of their pets. It makes me genuinely happy to be able to bring a little extra joy to our pets' lives, as I'm genuinely certain they bring all of their human companions oodles & oodles of happiness! :) I have over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs. I'm often the person my friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter while they're traveling, etc.
