I have cared for cats and dogs of all ages, from 6 weeks to old age. I currently have a 15-year-old schnauzer who still enjoys her daily walk and sniff excursions, and a cat recently adopted from the SPCA who has settled into my home beautifully. I enjoy caring for friends' and relatives' pets while they are away. I am a retired teacher currently renovating my childhood home, so my schedule is flexible. I will enjoy taking a break to get out and meet new pet friends! My cat is an indoor pet, so her care involves feeding, brushing, playing and litter box maintenance. My dog is elderly and mostly stays indoors and naps, but she still loves to take a walk around the neighborhood every day. I am happy to provide the same care to clients' pets, including longer and faster-paced walks as needed.
