Experience as primary as well as secondary caregiver to cats and dogs. Recently retired with grandchildren in other states so have a lot of "Granny love" to give both in my home and as house sitter - love plants as well. Understand the need for some pets to be in familiar surroundings so will provide in-home care. Have a "grand Husky" and "grand goldendoodle" as well as 2 grand cats that visit but not often enough to suit me. I love crafts so don't be surprised if your baby comes home with a new piece of "clothing". Not as "quick" as I use to be, so more active dogs may be happier with kids but what I lack in "energy" I make up for in "Love".
