I've spent most of my life looking after pets, mostly dogs. I've helped raise multiple seeing-eye dogs, and looked after old dogs until their passing.

I've walked puppies tugging on the leash or afraid of their own shadow. Old hobbling doggies too that are so excited to go on walks even if they're a bit stiff and slow from their arthritis.

Pets have always been apart of my life, whether it was training, looking after or grooming them. They are such innocent creatures that deserve all the care we can give them.

Each pet has its own needs and quirks. Getting to know them is important. I've met dogs afraid of hats, or obsessed with shoes, dogs with obsessive habits that their owners are trying to curb, like one wearing down her teeth by obsessively chewing tennis balls if you can believe it.

Fresh water and a safe environment is always available with me. I've never had a pet try to escape, but for those that are prone to it, there are 3 consecutive doors that are always key or code locked in order to get to the street. All pets are played with and walked, ensuring they are exercised. Contact is kept with all owners and updates of the pets time and activities is often sent along with pictures. Pets will be accompanied for the full duration and his/her feeding, walking, sleeping or medicine schedule, if he/she has one, will be followed and the pets routine and comfort will be ensured.

Pets need love and care. I'm passionate about giving them a good quality of life.
