I have loved animals since I was a kid. I use to volunteer at a near by animal shelter as a dog walker in high-school and since then have pet (cats and dogs) sat for quite a few families. I am comfortable with k9's, felines, rodents, and small birds and am more than willing to learn how to work with reptiles.
