Yes am available for Memorial Day! Thanks for considering me for all your critter care. I have provided adult foster care (for humans) and worked with developmentally disabled since 2003, but critters have been a love since...forever. Last year, I lost my last beloved wolfdog from a lineage going back to 1999. Over the years, I have been owned by some 49 dogs of various breeds (counting some puppies). There have also been a variety of lovebirds, parakeets, geese, chickens, gerbils, hamsters, rats, mice, Peruvian pigs, lizards, snakes, salamanders, fish, even spiders and an amazing Mexican huge bee...and trees. Yes, plenty of rescues, too. Where I live, a number of times cats and dogs have been discarded by people for the coyotes to eat (if not found and rehomed). There have also been a pigeon, a dove, a grackle, a ground squirrel, stray dogs in town, even an injured rattlesnake. (Yes, you finally met someone that nursed a rattlesnake back to health.) Ok, no direct care experience with horses, sheep, goats, llamas, peacocks, turkeys, cattle, or pigs, but I do tend to get along great with them. What sets me apart? Well, I think a big thing is only working with one client at a time. That means your critters will not be asked to get along with someone else's critters. (My two cats being the exception--but with repeat stays they aren't strangers, anymore. The chickens and geese have their own separate run.) Another thing, is that I can work with extra-large, powerful dogs, in general (cats would be quarantined into a part of the house). I do understand canine psychology at a high level (I was trained by wolfdogs) and know their rules. I can also work with rescues or critters that have been traumatized. People consider me reliable and trustworthy, and I am dedicated to giving critters exceptional care.
