I have always had both cats and dogs growing up, as well as smaller animals like reptiles and ferrets. When I was a teenager, my neighbor used to ask me to watch her dogs when she would go on vacation. I used to be a dog groomer, I am very patient with senior dogs and puppies, and currently I own two larger dogs. I have walked dogs that were 6 pounds and dogs that were 185 pounds, so no dog is too big or small for me. When caring for your pets, I will make sure to know if there are any medical or personality needs, such as if they are a skittish rescue like my dogs and need a little more time to trust, and how you prefer your pet to be taken care of in your home.
