Growing up around dogs, cats, rabbits and pet birds, I know the love and dedication it takes to be a good owner. They are more than just pets, they’re part of the family. Pets hold a special place in my heart and bring me so much joy. I would love to share my enthusiasm by caring for dogs, cats or other pets. I’m a fairly laid back but detail oriented person. Since I retired last year, I enjoy doing projects at home. I also love outdoor activities and am an avid hiker. We raised our (now adult) children with the love to care, play and be friends with their pets Two golden retrievers were part of our family since they were pups. We whelped, raised and trained one litter of six puppies which was an unforgettable experience. We always had one or more cats and currently have an adorable ginger tabby and a blue point long hair Siamese.
