I am an avid animal-lover who has been a cat-owner her entire life. My love for dogs has grown over the years as my closest friends and partners have had dogs that I have been lucky enough to adopt as my own. I like to try to learn every animal I meet, and engage with them as they desire. I will read their body language and what sort of interactions they like to make sure they feel happy and nurtured and comfortable. This comes from years of needing animals to love me..and boy do I usually succeed :) I've been cat sitting and caring for my own cats since I was 12, and caring for my friends dogs since I was 20. I am comfortable handling special diets, meal preparation, minor medication administration, wound care, and other small special care items for most pets.
