Since the age of 3, I have always had a dog or pet(s) in my life. I took care of the family pets as a young child and young adult (one dachshund and two mini schnauzers),I have fostered rescues, and for the past 4 years I have been the caretaker for 2 elderly Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Rest assured, my experience spans over many different sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs (and cats)! I believe pets are an important part of the family and we should treat them as such. I set my own day-to-day schedule as my profession is visual art (I'm a painter) and I work from home so I can make sure that my schedule fits yours and your critters are well taken care of :)
