I grew up taking care of our family dog and cats. In addition, I've had cockatiels, parakeets, and rabbits as pets. I'm also the proud owner of two horses. It's safe to say I'm an animal lover! I've spent up to a month at a time house and pet sitting for family and friends throughout my life. My dog is a rescue who was timid and abused when I first got her. She's now open, loving, and slowly learning to trust people she initially thought were scary. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe that the love and care given to them is returned ten fold. They are priceless and deserve the best care for all of their therapeutic qualities they give to people.
