This is 100% why caring for your fur-babies will be such a fulfilling opportunity for me. I am a high school Special Education teacher who has a stressful job during the school year. I look at spending quality time with pets as much needed therapy! I am very much looking forward to hanging out with your pet and making them feel very loved! I promise to take extra care, send you updates and pictures, and be a proactive communicator!
