Growing up I was exposed to animals at a young age, having 3 dogs and 4 cats until leaving for college. All of our animals were from the pound as we valued taking in animals that needed the help and had no one else that wanted them. I would be available weekdays after 3 pm and would be available early in the AM hours prior to work. Weekends, I am even more flexible. I always like to the time to evaluate any new animal to understand their mood and how they act in their surroundings and act towards me when I enter into their homes. I am adept at all communication styles and would ideally love to meet the pet parents before any care giving, in order to facilitate a good relationship from the start.
