Hello! I have owned animals all of my life, and have worked in the pet food industry, as well as the dog boarding/daycare industry. I have experience ranging from puppies to senior cats, and I love them all the same! I have also taken a doggy first aid course. I recently had to say goodbye to my 15 1/2 year old chihuahua, and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Now my 5 year old cat and I are adjusting to a pretty quiet life, and while we're not ready to welcome a new dog to our family, we'd love to visit with yours! I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility for 6 years, I learned so much about dogs and their behaviors that I never would have learned from just personal experience. I treat my animals like they are my children, and I will do the same for yours! Helicopter parents are welcome and understood LOL!
