I grew up in a family that used to breed Dobermans and also loved having a multitude of somewhat exotic animals as pets. We always had a minimum of 2 dogs along with other pets like fish, frogs, ducks, chickens, hamsters, rabbits, and turtles. My passion for animals started very early. It's more than a passion actually, it's a need in my life! I was given my first turtle as a pet when I was 10 and I loved it so much that I've always had one since. I also got my first cat at that age too. That cat lived to be 22 years old, which is rare! I took the best care of him. My current turtle is an Ornate box tortoise that I got as a captive bred when she was the size of a half dollar coin. I've kept her healthy & happy for many years and she's still thriving! Besides my turtle, I also have a miniature panther (a.k.a. a black cat) who is a sweetheart, but also an energetic handful. Being highly observant of an animals needs through their behavior is definitely a skill I have developed. I feel this is important to have especially when caring for pets that I am not familiar with. I love all animals and love learning random facts about them. It is because of that, I have become quite knowledgeable on how to train or care for many different kinds. I can provide any type of service for your fur baby within your home per your instructions. I've done and seen most of it all and am not afraid to get my hands dirty.
