I am a lifetime animal lover; I grew up around rescue animals and began rescuing animals myself when I was just 9 years old. I have rescue dogs and cats at my home and they are very important to me. Your pet(s') well-being, happiness, and safety will be my priority. I have never met a dog or a cat who has not liked me. I have had medical emergency experience with dogs and cats, so I am experienced with remaining calm in the event something were to happen in my presence and knowing what care to get for them. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can be available usually at last minute's notice. I am a very patient, calm, caring person; and animals really are my passion. *Bonus: I'm a law enforcement officer, so you're getting someone who is not only the most trustworthy, but will be aware of what's going on around your home while you're away!
