Experience: 10 yrs
I should have been a vet, a wildlife rehabber or worked at a zoo. I just LOVE animals. Throughout my lifetime, I've owned & taken care of cats, dogs ~ a golden retriever, Sheltie, choc. lab, ShihTzu, & a collie ~ rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, birds & fish. Currently I have 2 adopted cats, a crazy cockatiel, 2 adopted robo hamsters, a lop eared rabbit, (daughter has a darling chinchilla) & am fostering [probably keeping] my girlfriend's mom's adorable Bichon. Our collie had passed 2 weeks prior to my friend asking me to temporarily/permanently care for her mom's Bichon. I believe he was God-sent! I have a special rapport with animals, even the cranky or skittish variety. I am very honest & dependable woman who loves pets. You & your pet won't be disappointed!

Jeri and I have been friends for 10 years. We are 'fellow home schoolers' and attend the same home school group. Our sons have also been friends for 10 years, and we see each other often. She is compassionate, caring, and creative. She too, is an animal lover and has organized care sessions at an animal shelter for our home school group. She has shown up at the hospital for moral support when my son was severely injured and at my home when I needed her the most.
