I am an animal lover who lost my dog of twelve years, in late 2015. I would like to pass on that love to other pets! Animals (dogs especially) are very comfortable with me, as I have a mellow, loving temperament. I am very attentive and will treat your pet with all the care I would my own. I have two older teenagers who are responsible animal-lovers, they are at their Dad's half of the time. There was no option for children in their age-bracket. My teenagers may assist under my supervision, I will always be present with your fur babies. (This was cleared through Rover) I wanted to make certain I am completely honest, however. I am flexible in my availability, as I am currently employed on an 'as-needed' basis with the government. Your furry family members are safe with me, I passed a federal level background check, as well as my Rover background check. :) Truly, I want to help others out. This seems like a great means to do so. I'm happy to oblige any special requests (within reason, of course). I would be honored to have your trust with your pet! The last photo is a dog in our family...he's Havenese and hilariously crazy, thinks i am the pack-master.
