I have had dogs all my life. The breeds I am most familiar with are Labs, Golden Retrievers, Pit bulls and Boxers. Dogs are the animals I am most familiar with, but I do know how to take care of other animals, too. I treat animals like they are family because I honestly they are. I am not afraid of most animals.

Brenda let our puppy out in the afternoon for two years. She was very reliable and trustworthy. We don't need the care now that our dog is older, but she will be missed. We would definitely use Brenda if we had the need again and would highly recommend her.
