I was raised on a farm with dogs, cats, and other farm animals. As an adult, I have been a pet owner for 30 years, and have cherished them all, each having a very special place in my heart. I enjoy being around, playing with, and talking to animals. I also love going for walks and being outside. I have a nice park close to my house and a small fenced in area in my back yard. I have a husband and two older children living in my home (ages 16 and 22) who share my joy for animals, especially dogs. I also have an older son (age 27) who lives in the area and is a dog owner. I am employed by the local school system for 9 months of the year and stay home in the summer. I am very compassionate, reliable, trustworthy, and will do my best to give your pets the love and attention they need.
