Pet care experience

All-around animal lover :)

I've loved animals my entire life. I've taken care of my small family dog (maltese) for the past 12 years. She is now a senior, blind, and diabetic, so I have had experience with dogs of all ages! I also boarded a 1 year old golden retriever for a summer, so I can handle dogs of all sizes with varying energy levels. I have a cat with cerebellar hypoplasia, so I have experience with special needs cats as well.

I suspected that Lydia would be a great walker for George Bailey when she walked up to his crate and he was silent but for the sound of his wagging tail. Understand, this puppy is very cautious about new people. I know of no one else he's felt this comfortable with, right off the proverbial bat. And her time with him made him happy! Thank you, Lydia! Oh, one more thing, she got the best photo of him ever.
