Pet care in Mercersburg, PA
Hello! I grew up on a farm for about 14 years so I've taken care of everything from cows to pigs to chickens, dogs, turtles, fish. You name it and I've probably taken care of it, and I'm quite good with anything handed my way. I'm an animal lover at heart and will take such good care of your babies.
