Kenneth H. Pet Care Provider in Arlington, WA 98223

I am a semi retired construction professional that loves animals. I was raised in a rural setting and grew up around a variety of animals. I provide services for farm animals as well as pets. I believe in animal rights and that taking care of pets goes further than providing access to water and feeding. I feel that pets need to have daily companionship and playtime to lead a happy & healthy life.

I have been fortunate to have had a life that has been blessed with many pets, mainly dogs,cats and horses. I have trained all of my pets myself and believe that training really never stops it is a continual process. I have always had a canine companion in my life. I have had at least one cat and at least one horse most of my life.

I worked at Deschutes Animal Clinic in Tumwater, Wa. for 2+ years in my earlier years. My duties included the daily care of 20 to 30 dogs and cats and on occasional horse, assisting the veterinarians during surgeries and on large animal calls. My dream was to become a veterinarian at that time however the financial cost was a hurdle that I was unable to overcome.

I have enjoyed a 40+ year career in the construction industry both as a tradesman and 12 yr. in management mainly in residential as well as several years in commercial and marine construction. I am currently semi retired (which means that I still do projects for friends and family). I keep myself in good physical condition, am a non drinker and a non smoker. I am very dependable and organized especially when something is work related.
