About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am currently a Culinary Specialist that works in the Navy. Even though my schedule is a busy one I get a whole week every other week within the month of free time. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area of Newport News. It’s all military private housing so it has the safety that you would be looking for. However, if you have a big dog I would have to go and visit your home due to complications of navy housing.
