​I pet sit for my stepson’s dog throughout his life, until death. I have had experience with a dog of my own and, also, have had 4 cats. I love interacting with animals and support animal rights. I see animals as individuals with individual needs and am open to working with elderly pets and pets with disabilities. I spent many years in a career of case management and advocacy for people with disabilities and understand the importance of special needs supports. I would work with the pet in their home and am also available to housesit. I enjoy interacting and playing with animals, walking dogs, and facilitating whatever comfort needs your pets have. I prioritize protection and individual pet preferences and needs. I would also do drop by visits, if preferred.
