I grew up two years old playing with a snake that was about three times my size. I have always been an animal lover whether it's rabbits or dogs or monkeys. I have had cats and dogs and frogs so my experience is pretty broad. Animals are my specialty. I live in a gated apartment complex (where animals are allowed to roam [even have special trash cans for pet feces]). My apartment is mostly tile floors so animals are free to walk in with muddy paws. I am very flexible and willing to travel and accommodate your needs. It is not just watching your pet, it is spending quality time with them, getting to know them, taking them to the park or beach (at your discretion) and giving them genuine love and affection.
