Hi! My name is Blue and I have been taking care of pets all my life (dogs, cats, and farm animals) , but for others for the past three years. I love animals and the bond they have with people! I have experience taking care of three huge dogs at once, cats, and even a snake. I would love to care for your pets!
I have always loved animals from the time I was born. Anytime there was a pet, either friends or families I would always put my attention towards it. I have fond memories of playing with my brother's cats and bonding with my uncle's dog over the summers. I am looking for a day-time commitment flexible to my online summer courses...
