Kelly S. Pet Care Provider in Carbondale, CO 81623

I'm that person who likes pets a little bit more than people. I often choose my friends based on their pets, and when I pay my friends visits, I spend most of my time talking to their animals rather than to them.

I've had at least one pet at home since I was born, and my current best friend is my lab-spaniel mix Sloop. In my past homelife, I've cared for cats, dogs, a ferret, bunnies, a potbelly pig, and the routine childhood hamsters and fish. I'm also a trained evolutionary biologist, so my enthusiasm for biota extends to every living thing that moves (and a lot of things that don't). What I'm trying to communicate is that animals aren't just sideshows to me. They're centerpieces—the main event.

I've been a pet-sitter for 15 years outside of caring for my own animals. I've trained my dog and have thoroughly researched dog behavior, so I'm very comfortable with them. Cats fascinate me, but of course, they're the ones training me and studying my behavior, so I have much less of a grasp on them. That doesn't mean I adore them less.
