I've grown up with rescue animals since I can remember. My mom couldn't ever say no to an animal in need. We had dogs, cats/kittens, rabbits, ferrets, frogs, a bird and a snake (for about 2 weeks!) We would also watch the classroom pet over the summers as a child. I was in 4H for awhile growing up but learned that I preferred smaller animals than horses :-) I am the go-to that animal-sits for my friends when they go out of town. I also love to walk dogs because it also gets me outside. I am currently without animals in my home but I get to play with my kids and friends pets daily. My love of animals has been passed down to my kids and I am so proud of that. Animals are very special to us. My current work schedule allows me to have various daytime and evening hours free and my weekends are flexible as well. I am easy to work with and try my best to make it all work out best for the animal. I have a nice sized yard that is great for pets. It's fenced in the back, sides and part of the front. I have a fully fenced deck as well. I am trustworthy in your home as well and can provide references. Whether it's popping in to take care of your dog, take them on walks etc, I am responsible and eager to help. I'm also detail orientated and will follow any instructions or special needs that your animal has.
