I've had dogs, cats, and horses all my life, and can't imagine a world without them! Your animals will be safe and happy with me - I'm the girl who goes to someone's home, and spends most of my time chatting with the pets. ;-) I'm a non-smoker, and an active person - I love hikes and walks, especially with a dog! I'm good at recognizing pets' physical and emotional abilities and preferences, and I have taken obedience training classes. Our family Beagle will tell you I'm his best friend, and our cat will tell you the same, if he feels like it at the time. I love and respect pets, and will happily accept yours into my family, and hopefully we'll become best friends!
