I am retired and have been a live- in and live-out nanny for more than 25 years with families who mostly had pets I took care of as well. I grew up with a German Sheperd and felt a natural love for dogs as a child. But later in age I turned into a dedicated and passionate cat mom which I have been for almost 4 decades now until... I fell in undeniable love with a half blind, half deaf 17 year old Mini Schnauzer, a dog of one of my families. When I moved out she came with me and as Covid gave me a hard time being alone she shorthand became my companion for another full year until her last breath. Shortly after I became 18 year old senior kitty mom I was able to give another 9 months of a livable life until she left me forever as well. I have had plenty of challenges to conquer, sleepiness nights with worries to endure but if I had the choice I would do it all over again because the love I shared with them and the memories I made no one ever can take away from me. Since then I took care of the homeless kitties outside. Five of them of which one was a pregnant kitty giving birth to a litter of five turned into my indoor ones. They meanwhile all transitioned from Florida ( my former home where I had the possibility to board dogs and cats) to state Washington. Yes, my heart is big but sometimes still too small to be there for all of those who are in need. My passion and love for animals has meanwhile turned into something I can't live and do without anymore ....sharing it with pet moms and dads who need someone dedicated and trustworthy like me to look after their fur babies while gone. I am living a new chapter in my life now filling it with stories and memories made by you and your beloved pets.
