I've been taking care of cats and dogs for a total of twelve years, some as a pet owner and the rest as a sitter. Dogs and cats provide a learning experience about loving life that can't be experienced in a "normal" job..although I do have one of those! I love meeting all the different personalities and working with them to have a good time and enjoy life! I am a massage therapist by trade so I like to see how what I learned in school can be applied to hanging out with pets. Like being calm and listening in all situations and being reliable for scheduling. I like to give cats and dogs something to look forward to when hanging out with me, it won't be just a visit! Lately I've been working with a lot of cats and I like the low key nature of the visits.
