I had my first cat at age 3 and have had cats and dogs for most of my life since then. I adore animals and truly have a special bond with them. Even very shy cats emerge to come out and greet me. I consider it a privilege to care for animals. In my care your pet will be loved, talked to, pet, and know they are safe. I enjoy long walks with dogs, ( or short, according to their needs) cuddling with cats, and will be very happy to learn and follow your protocols for their care. I am experienced caring for senior dogs, cats and kittens, puppies, “hiders”….. and in short order these pets feel very at ease with me. I’ve house and pet sat in the US and abroad. I have many years of experience and excellent references.
