Safety, trust & environment

I believe in following the routine that is established for one's fur baby. Many pets are on specific diets, and I believe it's important to follow those instructions exactly. I could provide brushing, walking, cage cleaning or whatever else is needed.

Sleeping bag kitten birth!

Pet care experience

* Before I tell my tale, I can’t administer any shots or meds unless the medicine can be put in food or a treat. Thank you. When I was a little girl, I remember my cat going to the bottom of my sleeping bag. I was worried she was going to suffocate, so I tried to move her to the top of the sleeping bag, to no avail. Imagine my shock when I suddenly felt something wet on my leg....my cat was having her kittens! I have been around cats my whole life. For a while I volunteered at Animal Friends to work with cats, so I did go through volunteer training there. I love cats. I respect cats. I can take care of your cat if you like. I had a couple of dogs for several years, so I am familiar with dog care. I also can take care of rabbits. I took care of my mother's rabbits over the years. Hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils and rats...I love them all!! While I may not have years of paid experience taking care of animals, I have a deep love for animals. I think pets are like children and they truly add something special and amazing to our lives. I believe animals deserved to be cherished and protected. If you decide to give me a chance to take care of your "baby", I am happy to send you pictures of your fur babies while you enjoy your vacation or take care of business.
