I am an experienced animal keeper with plenty of experience with the care of animals. We live in a wooded area with a big park next to us. I can take care of your animals either in their normal setting in your homes or in our beautiful setting in the woods.
I've owned animals my entire life and have always felt so connected with them. When in high school, I would volunteer at the animal shelter. When I graduated, I got a job at a boarding facility. Animals are my biggest passion, and if you hire me for a job, I will treat your pets with the same love and respect I give my own.
