Pets deserve a good place to stay and receive some real love while you're away rather than a cold crate and some bare-minimum attention per day. Taking care of animals is something that needs a personal touch, and I'll happily provide that. I've been taking care of dogs specifically as well as other pets nearly my whole life. When I was a teenager, I cared for my dog through the birth of her first and only litter of 9 little puppos and helped train them up for sale. At one point, I was also taking care of horses along with 9 other pets in our household including fish, birds, dogs, and a singular cat. You could say I've run on the wild side. Most recently, I've been taking care of and retraining rescue dogs from abusive homes, so I'm very good with timid/formerly abused animals as well.
