I've been around animals my entire life: horses, dogs, cats, goats growing up (in Maine), and have had cats of my own since 2008. I have two energetic cats at the house currently (they're temporary). One of them can be a bit territorial with dogs. I have basic experience giving medicine to both cats and dogs. There’s a small backyard here where dogs can run around. As a professional photographer, I offer the bonus of photographing your furry friend while I'm sitting & walking (with your permission, of course). I love to work with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. If your dog enjoys jogging, I'm happy to include your pet in my workout. Your pet will be very well cared for while you travel.
