I am 40 years old, married to a police officer, an artist, and homemaker with a deep love for animals. In my past i have worked many years with many animals from veterinary hospitals and offices, some grooming training, pet stores, and rescuing and fostering pets. Currently our family is extended with an amazing 4 year old king shepherd (Shep), a 5 year old African spur tortoise (Tortellini) and two outdoor cats (Henry and Carl) one of which is a lynx Siamese and Henry is a black tabby with dark brown stripes. My teenage daughter has a small ball python (Binx) so you can see we definitely do not discriminate and have a special love for all types of pets. I look at pets as family and believe they need the love and caring that goes above and beyond and that is what I will give your pet in the times that you need it. Nothing can take place of an owners love but you can rest assured your pet will be in great hands and treated like family at all times that you have to be away.
