Hello my name is Daniel and I've had every assortment of pet you can think of, I've currently have Two turtles and one Large aquarium along with a 3 year old rescue collie and a 12 year old cat that still thinks she is a kitten. If there is anything else you'd like to know just ask, always happy to help out. I've had pets all my life and our oldest one is Laz our red eared slider turtle that is older then myself. I'm also have extensive knowledge about fish and aquatic life, as it was part of a previous job. I've have several dogs over the years ranging from collies, jack Russells, German shepherds, golden retriever, and Norwegian elk hounds. Cats have also been on the seen as well, nearly as many as them as dogs owned. Our eldest dog lived to be 24 and our eldest cat was 19 years old. If I do end up minding your dog we have a park nearby our house that allows dogs off leads but if you don't trust your dog I'm happy to keep them on a leash. We'll always that it nice and easy at first and I'll always ask if you pet is dog friendly and human friendly. If you have a certain routine with your animal I'm happy to stick with it and same if you're animal requires medicine, I'm well use to handling most kinds. And we have had several animals that were recuses over the many years and I'll be happy to get them out of there shell and loving every minute of it.
