Hi there,
I'm a patient, compassionate and empathetic pet lover! I have had lots of experience with dogs and cats. Playing with your pet, snuggling on the couch and maybe learning some new tricks are just a few fun things that your pet would enjoy when they are in my care. Every animal is treated just like they were my own.
