Bio

My name is Abbey Floyd and I am a 27-year-old recent college graduate with a B.S. degree in Social Science and a minor in Criminal Justice.  I live with my two cats (Bob and Kritten), two rats (Grizzle and Keefer), one mouse (Noby), and a small, planted, freshwater aquarium.

DSM Pets was launched in February of 2008 and my experience working with and tending to animals spans back many years prior.  I look forward to spending time with your pets as well and am available over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season!
