Bio: I grew up in a rural area around all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats, and horses. Whatever pet you have, I can take care of your house-sitting needs! I've had lots of experiences with both my pets and those of neighbors, friends, and family over the years in providing loving care. My favorite pets have always been the big slobbery kind, so I'm not afraid of a mess or two! I've also worked at a veterinary hospital with everything from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands as a kennel and veterinary assistant. I've walked dogs with fear issues and pet aggression safely and securely. I've cared for dogs and cats that were blind, deaf, exceptionally old or frail, and required medications. If your pet has certain medical needs such as blood glucose readings, injectables, and subcutaneous fluids I can do that as well. I've prepared every kind of pet meal you can think of, so be rest assured that I'll meet whatever specifications you leave with me. Most of all, I have a deep love of animals that goes back to growing up with them nearly my whole life. Your pet may not be mine, but I'll treat it as well as I would any of my own.
