About: I know that a pet misses its family when they are away. They should be treated as if they are being cared for by a nannny, just like children are. I love to spend time with them by playing, walking, taking a car ride to the park, or just petting/brushing. I am employed by the Escanaba school system so I only work the days school is in session and have mostly a free summer. I am done at school by 3:30 and have most evenings and weekends free. I am able to spend the night (or longer) in your home if that is what you need. I have just relocated back to Escanaba to be near family. My new housing does not allow me to have pets in my home and I am missing the love that pets freely give. Taking good care of your family pet will be of benefit to us both…you will dependable care that you can trust and I can get my playtime, exercise, and snuggles!
