I have lots of local references. Very good with animals. Worked at the Nature Center in Asheville NC. Love cats, dogs, & birds....willing to work with other varieties also. I will sit down with your best friends, visit with each one individually, so they get to know me and feel more comfortable. Offer special treats/toys for holidays. Very good with special needs, medications, etc. Can handle emergency situations. In closing, I will treat your special friends like my own.
