our animals have a lot to share with us about their needs if we know what they are 'telling' us. Through my experience professionally and personally I have become a keen observer of pet behavior that has taught me so much and advanced my problem solving skills. I have a wide variety of experience mainly focused on cats and dogs. my first dog was a collie, my longest lived pet was a cat I raised from when she was 2 days old until almost 18 yrs old. at this time I have a 7 yr old german shepherd. I am adept at fitting collars, harnesses, pet clothing for pets less than 2 lbs to over 200 lbs and have made many original clothing items for animals myself. Please note that any request for housesitting will be mainly daytime hours, up to 5 hours only.
