I was raised taking care of dogs and cats that were members of our family. Whether it was a family vacation or a short trip to the store my pets accompanied me. I have had in home pet sits for as long as a month along with numerous walks, and rides to dog parks. I owned and ran a mobile vaccination clinic in 2 states so I'm familiar with administering medication and basic first aid. In addition to my experience with cats and dogs I handfed and raised parrots for over 25 years. I'm an active volunteer with a the local humane society. Animals are my passion and I know the importance of caring for them with love and wisdom. I also cook for pets if needed.
