Laura C. Pet Care Provider in Watertown, MN 55388

I have my own cat, Atramedes (Medes for short), while my parents have two beagles and a terrier/griffon mix, and two cats (one of which was mine until she became the family cat). I had two pet rats for a few years as well.

I also have experience with older pets through my own. The previously mentioned family cat is 17 years old, three-legged, deaf, possibly blind in one eye, and had most of her back teeth pulled. One of the beagles has anxiety issues, due to an abusive previous owner, and a bad front leg. Many of our previous pets lived until old age, and passed with us by their side.

When my parents go on vacation (once or twice a year, for two-three weeks at a time), I'm the one who stays behind and watches the animals.

The dogs get along with others well, and go to the dog park at least once a week. The cats have many hidey holes to disappear into if they get upset from a 'new dog' around the house.
