I've always been an animal lover. Rex, my schnoodle, is 14 years old and a big goober. As Rex has gotten older, he requires a little extra attention to manage some health needs, giving me experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra care. I also have two horses, Roanie and Milo. I've had Roanie almost 15 years now. He acts more like a giant dog than a horse, and loves learning tricks. He can sneeze, shake his head "yes" and "no", and bow. Along with my horse experience, I am familiar with livestock care for cattle, sheep, and goats. I'm also familiar with small animal care, having owned guinea pigs and rabbits. I have a full time job as an engineer, so I am available evenings and weekends for in-house dog sitting and dog walking.
