I have always had a variety of pets in my life. Currently I have my own pet sitting business with rave reviews. I am patient (years as a pre-school teacher) and respectful of your pet and the importance they play in your life. Pets are family members and I treat them just as I would respect you. My own pets now are a Cockapoo, Tucker, 2 cats Raja and Shayna.. You can count on me and my love of animals. I have owned turtles, guinea pigs, gold fish, hamsters, and chameleons. I've considered all as pets to be nourished and given loving care. I have exposed my classroom children and my own children to pets as they are all a part of nature's loving world.
