I've taken care of many farms. I know how to take care of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and cows. If need be, I can be prepared for emergencies and crazy situations. And can learn a routine very easily for any other animals I can add to the list.

I love animals, especially dogs! I've grown up with animals my whole life, so I am fairly comfortable working with most breeds! My favorites are retrievers, labs, or doodles, but I love giving treats and extra attention to any fur babies! Belly rubs and ear scratches are the best!
