I come from a family of pet lovers and have had pets all my life. As a kid and teenager I learned how to care for a weener named Terra and a cat named Marusya. I still think they're the best furry creatures in the world. As a grown up I got my own dog, a Jack Russell Terrier named Benji and boy did I learn a lot! He taught me to always be cheerful and active and live your day to the fullest like it is the best day of your life; rest like you've run 10 miles (especially after you've run 10 miles); always be hungry for new experiences (and just generally hungry); always be alert not to miss a single cat, squirrel or a pizza crust laying on the ground; and always great everyone with the widest, most joyuos smile! Right now I also help care for my boyfriend's dog, a 45lb mix of poodle and Irish setter named Sequioa, who is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest, most loving dog in the world, and who loves long walks and runs, activities, exploring and belly rubs. I would be happy to give your pets the best care and make our time together fun and entertaining!
