I worked with a rescue when I lived in Cincinnati, and discovered that dogs love me, I have found that I am quite sensitive to their needs, and am able to pick up on behavior clues to any issues they may have. I have taken long- term, problematic fosters that others gave up on, and have been able to help them feel secure and loved enough to be adopted. I love all animals, and have hand fed parrots, mice, rats & snakes successfully. I would love to take some of the stress away from your pets when you are gone.
