I love and respect all animals. Both dogs and cats have always been a part of my family and treated rightfully so. When I was younger, I had such an extreme bond with my Siberian Husky that I actually thought we came from the same parents and he was part of our family until 4 yrs old (it was a REAL shocker). I can be affectionate if that is what your dog needs and/or I can be observant if your dog is independent. I have both puppy and senior dog care experience from my past dogs and dogs that I have cared for. Family and friends often comment on my compassion and patience learned from my eight years of caregiving experience. I admire nature and love to walk outside in rain or snow. In conclusion, I am one of the "crazy" animal people and proud of it!
