I grew up and cared for several yellow labs and several cats for most of my life. As an adult I regularly house-sat for my parents’ 2 yellow labs for many years when my parents were out of town for weeks at a session. I currently own a rescue Boston Terrier/ Chihuahua mix. Dogs and cats seem to like my disposition and quickly warm up to me. I have always enjoyed engaging in play with dogs and cats of mine and ones I encounter in public. I will always be motivated to work because I love the outdoors and walk a lot anyway to stay in shape. I find being around dogs and cats is a great stress reduction method. Dogs and cats make me feel happy.
