I have had a wonderful black Labrador Retriever, Rio, for 15 years and last year I adopted Jolene, a German Shepherd my boyfriend found on the side of the road. (Jolene is a handful! She needs 3 long walks a day to keep her from going nuts!) I potty trained them and taught them all the tricks they know! All of my neighbors in my hometown and friends call me to take care of their dogs and other pets when they go out of town because they all trust my knowledge and expertise. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, etc. and some limited exposure to special needs animals. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have cared for a variety of other animals such as guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, turtles, fish, and many others. I also have almost two years of experience from employment as a Pet Care specialist. You can count on me when it comes to your pet; I promise to care for and love your animals like they are my own.
