I have had dogs for my entire life, and a cat as an adult. I have cared for other animals in the past such as birds, reptiles and both fresh and salt water aquariums. I worked with military working dogs while serving in Afghanistan and have both the energy and experience to take the best care of your pets imaginable! I currently have two amazing dogs (about six years old), one from a shelter and the other I picked up on the side of the interstate. I also have a cat that I kept after catching a litter of feral kittens that needed to be fixed under my porch. Having had animals my entire life I know that there is no feeling like wondering how your fur baby will be taken care of while you are trying to enjoy yourself on vacation. That is why I can assure you that I will treat your pet with the same love and care that I have for my own. I am almost always available and have no problem answering any questions you may have about how I will care for your furry friend!
