Grew up with dogs, cats, critters, and fish. I learned the needs, and maintenance for a variety of animals. I also often took in friends' and colleagues' pets on numerous occasions. I sat for older pets, young pets, pregnant pets, and disabled pets. I am situated near a park, and have plenty of space at home for playing and grooming. I have also had some experience with select exotic animals in the past, and can provide accommodations for certain ones within my range (upon proof of legal ownership and state acknowledgement). I do make a point to request that the food, dishes, and any favorite treats are provided at drop off/pick up to last for the duration of the stay. The house has a large kennel if needed.
