I owned and bred Springer Spaniels and had cats while my children were growing up for about 15 years. After my last dog crossed that Rainbow bridge I decided not to have another so that I would be free to travel. I missed the company of an animal and when a friend asked if I would be interested in watching their pets so they could take a trip I gladly agreed. Through them I ended up being referred to others and it spread from there. I have watched dogs and cats and I love being in their company, it soothes the soul. I enjoy walking, playing, and cuddling with them. I am a retired school teacher and I recently relocated to Texas and haven't met many people. I would enjoy spending time and helping people out with their pet needs by taking care of your animals when you need a hand.
