I absolutely adore all animals and think they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. I'm extremely observant and can usually tune in to what an animal is communicating. For that reason, I'm very good at training basic commands. My mom and I used to rescue strays when I was in high school. After that I volunteered at shelters in my early 20's and have been a foster parent for the past few years to puppies and kitties alike. I have experience with older dogs and cats who need medication and a special routine too! I understand that every stage of life has its challenges, and I've been through it all several times with cats and dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I will pay very close attention to your pet and give them rubs, cuddles, and lots of love!
