Pet care in Lakeland, FL
I am enthusiastic, active and adore all animals . I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. I'm currently in nursing school, so my schedule is a little wonky during the day.
I have been working on pet care service for over 3 years. I have had pets my entire life and love working with them. My friends joke calling me the Animal Whisperer. I know pet grooming and can clip nails. I can help with rodents up to horses and all in between.
