I have been a responsible pet owner and animal lover for 40 years. Have cared for my own pups and kitties of all ages, as well as rabbits, a guinea pig, fish, turtles and a couple of birds. Have bottle-fed babies, and cared for older animals. Would love to walk, feed, bathe, play with and love your pet while you are away. I am a very active retired elementary school librarian. I help care for my granddaughters several hours a week but otherwise have plenty of time to devote to my charges via Rover. We have the typical El Paso rock walled yard at our home. With grates on the wrought iron gates to keep pets in and other animals out. One side yard is sectioned off separately from the rest of the yard. My daughters were both veterinary technicians and I worked for a short time at the vet clinic with them just to earn a little extra money.
