So Bambi, the first animal movie I can remember loving as a child (and still to this day) could be the source for my love of all animals. Growing up, my parents actually didn’t allow pets, but I made it work by pet-sitting for the whole neighborhood and my parents’ friends anyway, starting at 10 years old. Finally at 18, I got my own puppy, a little minniature pinscher chihuahua mix named Emily, and she was my baby and best friend. Since she passed away as an old lady, I’ve missed having pets around. So here I am full circle, wanting to bring pet-sitting back into my life! Animals give us such joy, fulfillment, and fun. To me, a deer, fish, cow, duck, pig, or horse is just as adorable and lovable as our cats or dogs, and I’ve had my share of time with all of those varieties of animals as an animal sciences major! They’re all special and intelligent in their own ways in my eyes, and they all deserve special care. I like to joke that if I could, I would be a Disney Princess. Not necessarily for the prince, just so I could walk into the forest and instantly have all the animal friends come to me!
