I genuinely love all animals. I have had my own dogs since 2002, and have been involved in dog rescue for equally as long. Prior to that, as I was growing up, we had dogs in our household. I was also involved with my college equestrian team and worked at the barn caring for many horses. Over the last few years, I have also become involved with wildlife rehabilitation, with focus on small mammals. Because of my love for all animals, your pet will be treated with genuine love, respect and concern for safety. Pets are part of the family and will be treated as such. The importance of regular care, affection and exercise is paramount. I am available most afternoons as well as on weekends. During the school breaks and summers, my schedule is extremely flexible and open. I would prefer to meet your pet before providing service if at all possible. This will allow all parties to be on the same page with the arrangement as well as discuss preferences. I have found both owner and pet to be more comfortable this way.
