My love of animals began when I was old enough to bottlefeed the calves, piglets, ponies & kittens on my grandparents' farm. I have never Not had pets! Kittens, gerbils, hamsters, fish and rescued pups. I have been the neighborhood petsitter wherever I live for as long as I can remember. My favorite petsit was a school petting zoo with goats, parrots, chinchilla, desert tortoise, & chickens. I'm the oldest of four, a writer, photographer, swimmer and lover of books, coffee, and nature. I value honesty and compassion. Your pets will be treated with as much care as I give my own pets, with exercise, treats and plenty of love. I keep them distracted until you return. Enjoy your time away and don't worry about a thing!
