I have loved animals my entire life. I have had at least two dogs since I was 3 years old. I have taken care of everything from puppies to seniors. While my experience is mostly with dogs, I have been around cats on several occasions in my life. I can take care of any animal. I don't mind if they have special needs or might be a little temperamental. I have a higher patience for animals because they can't always communicate their needs. If you go out of town and need me to come to your house, I am likely to spend a large portion of the day with your animals so they feel loved. I do not believe that any breed is better than the other. I do have a fenced off area of my yard, but the entire thing is not enclosed. I have stray cats that come around, but I can keep animals separated if need be. I do have my lovely puppy Luna that loves everybody and everything. She's usually inside with me but she loves sunbathing. I will do my very best to accommodate to your needs and to the needs of your pet(s). If you trust me with your pet(s), I will treat them as my own and make sure they are nourished and loved while you are away ( and maybe even a little bit spoiled.)
