Hello and welcome to my profile! I am Marsia, I'm an RN, and have been around fish, reptiles, birds, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, and cats, since childhood. At this time, the joy animals bring is much needed and something I really do enjoy. I prefer small animals, less than 25 lbs, as I live in an apartment and would like all of my furry guests to feel welcome and relaxed! I have a 2 year old Dachshund who loves make friends with and play with 4 legged company. As a nurse, I am capable, and wouldn't mind, caring for pets with mild-moderate, special needs. I am knowledgable with medications, diet, adverse reactions and alarming symptoms. I am willing to care for partner pets, sibling pets, diabetic pets, epileptic pets, and small liters so that their human family can go away on business, leisure, or just meet responsibilities that would otherwise cause unnecessary duress to their four legged and/or finned family. If you need some peace of mind overnight, or up to a few weeks, while you are away, consider Sage and I for 24/7 playtime, company, endless cuddles, and a happy/healthy approach to pet care :). Best of luck on your search!
