Hey there!! I am Karen and I have been around animals the majority of my life. I've been fortunate to have all types of furry friends growing up. I am a very caring person and love all types of animals. I have a big fenced in yard along with lots of toys to play with. I do prefer animals that are crate trained in case I have to run an errand. Other than that, they are free to run around, play or snuggle for the majority of the day. I do have cats, dogs, fish, a guinea pig and a mouse. My cats for the most part like to stay in the basement family room because they can sit in the windows and watch the birds. I have plenty of space or gates in case they need space or to separate while eating. I am available to watch dogs, cats, smaller animals or fish. I do not have a lot of experience with reptiles but am not opposed to taking care of them. I'll do my best to do whatever is needed so that they are comfortable and have minimum stress. Please let me know what makes your animal comfortable and I will do my best to accommodate.
