I have had dogs (and other pets - cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, parakeet, chinchilla, and iguana) all of my life. Right now I have two cats named Finn and Summer. In my early 20s, I did wildlife rehab locally in Charlotte where I cared for orphaned and injured wildlife. I took care of bunnies, possums, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. so they could be returned to the wild. I am a single mom of two boys ages 17 and 12 and work full time as a legal assistant. The last dog that I had was a Pomeranian named Macy. I had her for 14 years. I am available some week nights and some weekends depending on my schedule with my children. During the weekdays that I am available, I can only work after 6:00 p.m. I will give your pet a lot of love and attention while you are away!
