I have been working with animals for the last 20 years! It all started when I asked my neighbors if they would allow me to take their dog on a run in the mornings with me, (my parents did not allow me to have pets at a younger age, but I ALWAYS loved animals and would spend time with friends & family just to be around their pets! I know I sound crazy but I always have felt a connection with animals! For example my family thinks I am crazy that I say that I can communicate & understand my dog just by looking at each other !) I started by offering my services for free! That was my way of spending time with animals! my love for them, needless to say has grown profoundly! Due to life challenges, I decided to make caring for animals my full time job, and unfortunately had to start charging since it's my only source of income, Although I still enjoy giving back & volunteering whenever possible! I have a 11yr, 6pd Pikachu who is gentle, loving and gets along very well with children and other dogs/pets. we actually inherited her 3 years ago before that she was a hospice dog for 8 years! Best thing that ever happened to our family, as i am sure u feel the same way about your pets! When your pets are in my care they will be just as loved and spoiled as my little Lexi!
