I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My family has had Golden Retrievers since I was 5 years old. I wouldn't know what to do with myself in a house without a pet! My daughter is 14 months old and LOVES animals. She will be accompanying me on most walks/home visits. I am comfortable with just about every type of dog, small and large. And if you have cats as well, that's a bonus for me! We have two long hair cats who are very high energy (one is a ragdoll and one is a maine coon) so I am used to playing with high energy animals to avoid destructive behavior. I really look forward to meeting you and your furry kids! :)
