Pet care in Oak Island, NC
I grow up with a lot of animals, so I have plenty of experience. I grew up with cats, dogs, and some exotic animals. My grandma had chickens, donkeys and horses, so every now and then, I would help her take care of the animals. I have such a passion to help take care of animals, and I've been that way since I was very young.
