Hello! I am that person who goes out of their way to say hello to pets I see when I am out and about!! I have had animals my whole life (50 years!). Since being in my 20s, I have raised and cared for 8 dogs from puppyhood to adulthood. Although I love both purebreeds and mixed breeds, my last 4 dogs (2 currently) have been rescues who have been the best pets ever. I became passionate about rescue animals when I worked at the Humane Society in Broward County, Florida when I was younger. I would provide a worry-free environment for you and your pet as I know personally how stressful it can be for the pet (one of my dogs has separation anxiety) as well as the owner. I do have a full-time job as a special education teacher. I am fortunate to have summers off which allows for flexibility in my schedule.
