I am great at communicating with animals, and interact with them with true regard and love. I give attention to each dog or cat as the unique individual that it is, and appeal to their love of play and fun. I provide good boundaries, following training and key words that they are accustomed to. I enjoy "speaking dog (or cat!)," and sharing love and joy with fur ones. I notice how each breed or mix has its own unique way of being. I am at ease taking walks in town, as well as venturing out onto trails if more exercise is needed. Attending to weather and the comfort of your pet is always key - sun, heat, winter conditions, rain - and knowing your and their preferences and needs in this regard is an important consideration. I've lived with and cared for cats, dogs, snakes and horses over the past 37+ years. I have experience through all ages of the life expression of companion animals. Most recently my dear companion was the Siberian husky pictured in my profile. We were together a wonderful sixteen years, from puppy days through gentle old man days. I have availability to walk or check in and care for animal companions daily and weekly, with flexibly of notice and with established clients, even short notice. I am only offering care in client's home, on a stop-by for care or walks in the neighborhood arrangement. I would care for all animals with greatest regard and love, as the unique beings that they are.
