I've always had pets and love animals. Since I was about 10 I was the main caretaker for my families pets because I wanted to, not because I had to. As an adult I've had as many as 5 cats at one point. I've also had as many as 4 dogs and have always had either cats, dogs or both my entire life. I have lots of experience taking care of both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes from a 5lb Maltese to a 200lb Mastiff who thought she was a lapdog. I've watched family and friends pets for years both in my home and theirs and always enjoyed it. I've potty trained all of my puppies and am very patient with them. I have also taken care of older pets with health issues. We had a rat terrier who recently passed at 16 years old. She had a lot of health issues and took several medications multiple times a day. I am very organized and keep things neat and tidy. I will take care of your pet like it's my own.
