I've owned animals my whole life, I have years of experience working with breeding as well as rescue. I absolutely love animals. I have 10+ years experience working at pet stores, in animal care, fish care and grooming. I'm able to give medications as well as injections and I'm very confident working with all species of animals. I can also watch a variety of small animals, including reptiles and amphibians. I can also take other pets such as pigs I have both indoor and outdoor pigs myself Ann’s I’m familiar with their needs. I’m very familiar with tortoise and turtle care, chameleons, snakes and most lizards. I do have children in my home but my girls have always been raised around animals and they are very gentle, my kids have handled everything from newborn puppies and kittens to malnourished and emaciated animals that we took in to save. You do not need to worry about my children harming your pet, because they love animals as much as I do. Why I love pet sitting I've loved animals my whole life. I became more and more interested with genetics and health concerns as I got older and I have dedicated many years to research on proper care, genetic screening, care for malnourished and abused animals and grooming. Then I later went on to get a vet tech degree. I’m home with my younger kids all day, my older kids go to school. I’m home to care for animals literally all day and night and I can make house calls in the morning and in the evening. I can meet whatever needs necessary to make you and your pet happy, I can set up pens or crates if needed and I can let well behaved pets stay loose in my home. I take my own dogs out every 2-ish hours but I can take your dog out more frequently if needed and if you have a tiny dog that prefers to use potty pads inside I can make that work too. My cats are up to date on vaccines and friendly but I can designate a safe space or room for your cat if they do not want to interact with my pets.
