I’m a life-long caretaker and friend of pets, having grown up with my cat Max (rip) who approximately shared my age and grew into adulthood with my Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd dog, Key, (rip) of whom (in exchange for belly rubs, treats, lots of brushing and daily walks) has been a fine companion and guardian. In addition, my family members and friends have also relied upon me on several occasions to take care of their animals (litter-box changing, walking, feeding, training etc…) including (but not limited to) my sister’s six cats, best friend’s two dogs, and mother’s cats. Most recently I have raised and trained my dog Ronnie James Dio since he was a six-week old puppy into an excellent energetic and loving companion.
