I have 15+ years of independently taking care of animals, specifically cats and dogs. I have experienced almost all ages and stages of animal care (except old age). I currently have two golden retrievers, one that I raised since he was a puppy, and an older male that I took in. I also have a 10 year old calico cat that has been with me since I adopted her. I have had many other dogs and cats in my younger years that I helped out with at home. I love all animals and truly appreciate the interactions. I am always interested in learning how to be a better and more educated pet owner, and would do the same to best accommodate to your pets needs!
