Responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

I've spent most of my life caring for dogs and cats. My family had multiple Bernese Mountain Dogs so I grew up handling large breeds. I also raised an American Akita from puppyhood with my previous partner, as well as took care of his Japanese Akita. I've raised five cats, all of whom lived to old ages of 20+! I easily adapt to different animal personalities and I am experienced at handling both small and large breeds. I have a clear and direct communication style and I am very sensitive to understanding an animal's needs. I am currently working from home so my schedule is flexible. I live in Southeast Portland but I have a car so I am accessible to almost anywhere in the city. I am eager to take care of your pup or cat!
