Pet care in Elk River, MN
I have experience with dogs, cats, and horses. Have grown up with dogs all my life, have watched people's dogs a few times at their house when they are on vacation, and used to work at a horse ranch. Have references. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to help care for your fur babies when you're away:)
I love animals and unfortunately am not able to have my own animal at the moment, but I would love to spend time with your pet.
