Your Pet Is Family.

Growing up around all types of pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, ducks), I've learned that they are an important part of the family. Just like us, they require loving attention and care. I will treat your pet like it's a part of my own family. In my spare time, I like to enjoy the sunshine and practice my bowling skills.
