My name is Heidi and I've cared for a wide variety of pets my entire life. The reason I put 17 years as my experience however is because before that it was my pets caring for me until I was 5 along with my loving family. I am a huge animal lover cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, you name it and I have probably cared for it. I have lots of experience taking care of large dogs I have 3 dogs in my household currently Penny my Golden Retriever/ Chow Chow mix who is 12, Shadow a 6 year old black Great Dane, and Zelda a 2 year old black Great Dane. I have also had numerous other dogs in my family growing up Amber a Labrador mix, Amy a long haired German Shepherd, Angel a Labrador mix who was Amber's puppy, Paulie a black Great Dane, and Zoey a Border Collie/Billie mix. My experience with dogs ranges pretty extensively and I've had my share of experiences with smaller dogs as well such as Chihuahuas, Beagles, Dachshunds, and more. I have experience bathing and grooming (drying and brushing) dogs that like it and don't like it as well. I always do my best to let the dogs know that they are safe and everything is okay. If you have any additional questions for me I would be more than happy to answer them for you. I'm PAWsitive that you and your pets will have a tail wagging PAWsome time with me.
