As a dog mom myself, I am a natural animal lover with a soft spot for all dogs and cats. Thankfully they seem to be drawn to me, too! Ever since I was a kid, I have cared for a variety of cats and dogs of different breeds and ages for neighbors, family, and friends. My family had a Himalayan cat and a yellow lab growing up. I currently care for my own fur baby (a 5-year old Australian cattle dog kelpie named Willow) who is a shy dog we adopted from an animal shelter, so I have the patience and understanding for animals who need some extra love. I also have experience caring from young puppies and kittens all the way to senior animals.
