Honey I bought a zoo! No we didn't but you might think so... We are a family of five (two adults, three children) We currently have goats, dogs, cats and fish We also own a horse (it boards elsewhere) and we have had parakeets, bunnies and chickens. Why so many animals in Walnut Creek? Our son wants to be a rancher someday!!!! He is studying Agricultural Science at Livermore High School (yes he commutes that far). Our whole family supports his goal and we are all animal lovers! We are thinking about getting a hamster ....maybe... Well anyway, our dog sitting fees go towards horse tack, boarding, vet visits and lessons so thank you for considering us for your pet sitting needs!!! We really appreciate it! :-)
