I've adopted strays since I was a kid and I convinced my parents that I would personally take the best care for them that anyone could. I still try to live up to that. I've adopted, rehabilitated, and rehomed over 30 pets in my life, putting me into some credit card debt at times, but for good reason. I treat my pets as members of my family, maybe better even. I strive to make sure they are happy and healthy, getting the best diet for their needs, exercise, attention (talking to them, asking them questions, training and playing with them, growing their vocabulary), and overall time from me. I always tell my friends that the best training their dog can get is for them to spend time with them and learn who they are and what they expect, but that the human needs to learn what the dog wants too. I am a quiet person, but consider myself very responsible and an animal lover. I have pet sat for people from colleagues to neighbors, and their family. I have cared for elderly and sick pets, including pets with diabetes and epilepsy, and am confident in my ability to act calmly and swiftly in a crisis if one were to arise. I am available for walks and home checks Wednesday-Friday, every other Saturday and Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday evenings. I unfortunately can't take on care for cats any longer due to a worsened cat allergy. 😿
