Growing up in a house full of pets I became comfortable at taking care of dogs, bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Our dog, Tiger, loves to have dog company stay with us! We have two little (human) boys ages 10 and 7 and they are very caring and gentle with animals and love helping take care of our visitors.
