I am and always have been an animal lover. Growing up, I always felt like I lived in a zoo, having multiple cats, dogs and birds at any given time. They have always been well cared for, and I will take great care of your pets, as if they were my own, while you are away at work, or if you need to go out of town and you just can't take your pet along. You wouldn't have to worry about a thing! I have an 8 year old son and 18 year old son, whom both love animals just as much. They both have the same dream job of working as a veterinarian. My 18 year old also volunteers at the Springfield Humane Society. I have a 3 year old black lab, who absolutely loves playing with other dogs. I recently just rescued a cat. Found her in my tree and did everything to see if she belonged to anyone. Once it was proven she was not, we decided to give her a loving home. She enjoys playing with my dog and she loves to cuddle on the couch. I have a nice big fenced in yard, so they can run around and burn off some energy during the day. Also, you would get updated throughout the day so you know how they are doing while away.
