As parents of four grown children. we have had many years of experience taking of our own pets including cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, rats, turtles, sand crabs, and fish. We have also pet sit for friends and family. For several years, we belonged to the exotic bird rescue, fostering parrots of all kinds in our home until permanent homes could be found for them. We love all animals and consider it a joy to spend time with them. We have a large fenced back yard (chain link) and like spending time playing with the dogs. We are retired, so we are available to stay home with the animals all day and night. We also live in a quiet neighborhood which makes for a great place to walk dogs.
