I truly love and care for all animals, big or small! I've had pets my whole life and currently have two dogs, a cat, and chickens. I've also cared for horses, ducks, fish, and hermit crabs. Animals bring me joy, and I connect easily with them. I'd love the chance to give your pets the same love and care I give mine!
