With an extensive background taking care of all sorts of animals (mice, guinea pigs, birds, pigs, chickens, lizards, cats, and dogs to name a few), I would be honored to take care of your loved one while you're away. I know how difficult it can be to give your pet to a stranger, but I assure you she/he is in very good and capable hands. I have been responsible for and the proud parent of numerous cats and dogs since I was a young girl. I would even save the birds my cats chased down. I am an animal lover through and through, and always enjoy the company of our sweet-natured, furry friends. Currently, I am residing in a pet-free and smoke-free home ready to take care of your sweet one when you need me to. *Please note, I work full-time during the academic year (late August-early June), so dogs must be house trained and okay being home alone for 4+ hours.
