Personal Message : I love connecting with dogs and cats! I am always eager to meet a furry new friend. I was a long time dog-dad to a sweet but sometimes challenging rescued Pit/Mutt named Shreddy. In our time together, I learned to see the world through her eyes. This allowed me to anticipate her needs and ensure her well-being, providing insightful care. These days I am co-parenting a shy but loving orange cat named Pika. She's a great communicator and teacher as well! Pika and Shreddy have inspired me to share my experienced approach to care with your pets. As we interact, I will immerse myself in their world and tailor our activities to their individual needs, as well as yours. My goal is to positively impact their lives as a caretaker, advocate and friend. I look forward to meeting!
