Pet care experience
Hello there! My name is Heather and I have had a true passion for pet care for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had a special place in our hearts for our furry friends. Throughout my entire life, I have been fortunate enough to have the companionship of dogs, primarily rat terriers and boxers. In addition to our beloved dogs, cats also played a significant role in my upbringing. I had the pleasure of sharing my home with two wonderful felines, each bringing their own unique personalities and companionship to our family. As an adult, my family's love for pets has only grown stronger. Currently, we are the proud owners of two amazing dogs. Our first furry family member is a rescue dog who initially had us fooled into believing he was a German Shepherd. To our surprise, as he grew, his petite size of only 22 pounds at 2 years old made it clear he was anything but a German Shepherd. Despite the unexpected twist, we adore him just as much and he continues to bring endless joy into our lives. Our furry clan extended with the addition of another furry friend - a one-year-old puppy. We welcomed him into our home after a serendipitous encounter at a training camp where a friend's husky accidentally became pregnant. It turns out our new pup is an intriguing mix of 50% husky and 50% Bernese, and his personality beautifully reflects this unique blend. Caring for our pets has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. From ensuring their physical well-being to offering them love, attention, and a nurturing environment, I have genuinely found joy in catering to their needs. The bond I share with animals has always been deep and unwavering, and I am grateful for every opportunity to connect with them and provide the care they deserve. With my extensive experience in pet care, particularly with dogs and cats, I am confident in my ability to provide your beloved companions with the utmost love, attention, and quality care they require.
