Pet care in Ridgefield, CT
We've recently relocated to CT from OR. I spent 18 years in a demanding role working with a residential developer. Needing to still work, I'm looking to offer pet care for an easier pace of life. I LOVE animals! I grew up on a 300 acre farm where we had about everything and as an adult, have always had cats, dogs and often fish.

I can provide dog sitting in your own home while you are away on vacation. I have experience looking after dogs of all ages and sizes while their owners are out of town. I grew up in a household full of pets, and love taking dogs out on long walks, playing fetch with them, and performing any light grooming they may need.
