I have owned and cared for a large variety of animals (separately and together) since I was 7 years old. I am 23 now and I’ll never tire of this sort of ‘work’. In these 16 years I have cared for small dogs with big personalities and big dogs that choose to sit in your lap just the same. I also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, snakes and lizards. Though I prefer dogs, I am flexible depending on the need. II do not currently have any professional experience, as I have needed better paying jobs over the years to keep afloat. However, money is no longer tight, which means I get to focus on work that feeds my soul over my pocket. As I write this, I am dog sitting for a friend. “Pets are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.”
