I've never lived in a home without dogs or cats. I've lived with and cared for three dogs and ten cats over the last fifteen years. Plus many aquarium fish! And by this point I’ve taken care of hundreds of other folks’ cats. My current pets are three cats named Snickers, Tuna, and Twix. My family refers to me as the "Cat Whisperer" because I have a way of getting kitties to come out of their shell and feel comfortable. I'm dedicated, conscientious, and responsible, and I take my love and care for animals seriously. Please consider me as you search for someone to take excellent care of your pet! I will care for dogs in others' homes by sticking closely to the schedule provided by their owner and/or carrying out their owner's requests. I am patient and use positive reinforcement and praise when interacting with dogs. I will care for cats in others' homes by activating my powers as "Cat Whisperer." I know how to talk to cats in just the right coaxing tone to get them to trust me. They love it when you tell them that they’re sweet and good and beautiful. I also know how to give kitties space and let them take their time in approaching me if they need that. I enjoy petting cats, playing with them, and generally spending time with them. I’m okay with sitting for most any type of cat: super friendly or super shy, sweet or grumpy, medical needs or no, kittens or elderly cats.
