I've been caring for my own and others pets for over 40 years. I've worked at pet stores, presented snakes/reptiles to elementary schools, and cared for my numerous pets of all types. You'll find that with my experience and maturity I am trustworthy, friendly, calm, caring, flexible and communicative. Throughout the care of your pet, I will send photos throughout the time they are in my care. A picture says a thousand words, after all. As a nearly lifetime desert resident, I also understand our weather and how it affects pets. I've also fostered numerous dogs and cats until permanent homes were found. Even pregnant animals, from which our very own dog, Bubba, is one of those pups. Bubba is friendly with all dogs, as is our cat, Hazel.
