I have had numerous years caring for dogs & cats. I have had pets as long as I can remember. I have owned dogs with asthma & cats with epilepsy, so health issues aren't a problem. I've handled dogs of all breeds & sizes. I have rehabilitated baby squirrels, who still visit for peanuts. I am friendly, calm, & patient. Keeping calm & patient comes with years of practice, working with my son with neurological disorders. I've been told I'm patient to a fault at times, but it has come in handy with my son and furbabies. He has also given me the strength to remain calm, no matter how difficult or scary a situation may appear. My son is in school during the day & I can think of no better way to pass the time then with your dog or cat!!! I have read several books on how dogs communicate. I enjoy learning about each pets & knowing how they communicate makes learning much easier. I truly believe there are no bad pets, only one's who are misunderstood. I apply this interest with every client. I give the cat or dog time to trust me & form a bond. During this time I learn & take note to every detail of the pet's personality, likes/dislikes, habits, and anything more that will ensure your pet gets the best during my brief time with them.
