I am a single, semi-retired woman who enjoys the company of all animals. And they seem to enjoy my company - they warm up to me immediately. I have over 10 years experience sharing my home with other people's dogs and cats and my own. I am engaging and sensitive to your pets individual needs. I enjoy walking dogs along a pedestrian path outside my door along the Merrimac River in Newburyport, and playing with cats in my home and on the porch when the weather permits. I do not have other people in my home while caring for your pet. I have experience giving dogs and cats medication. I am happy to brush them and to take care of what ever special needs they may have. I look forward to meeting your pet.
