Pet care experience

A caring and compassionate person. that loves dogs of all kinds. whether they be puppy,adult, especially seniors, or special needs. All breeds welcome. I have a large fenced in backyard, with a ramp, for older dogs that can't use the stairs. I also will help the dog learn how to walk on a leash, and helping anxious dogs feel right at home. Also run an animal sanctuary for senior dogs and cats, that have a good home here. To be in, for the rest of their lives. This sanctuary is Maw & Paws Ark Inc. I have helped many. Pets are not throw aways, they are family. I treat every dog like they are family. All are welcome. No dog is, Ever, left unattended outside. Even if it's fenced in yard.

She's a very nice person to meet. She loved attending to Romeo, and we were very satisfied with her attending to him. And we won't hesitate having her to take of Romeo again, hopefully she will be available when that time comes again,thank you Miss Joanna.
