I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have dogs and cats of my own that I've had for many years now. I believe a pet is a lifetime commitment and I treat my pets as they should be, as an important part of my family. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. I will treat your special family member with the love and compassion you would expect me to and will make sure that you are completely comfortable with leaving them in my care. Cleaning up after pets is part of the responsibility of having them and I will clean up any and all messes that your pet makes. Your family member will be well taken care of. I will send photos or let them hear your voice on the phone or whatever is necessary to make your time away from your pet and your pets time away from you more comfortable and less stressful. I will also care for cats and other animals...just ask!! Feeding, making sure they have fresh water, litter box cleaning, etc. I will take in mail, water plants and anything else that you need me to do while you are on vacation or away. I also do not smoke or drink.
