I have been a lifelong pet owner of many furry companions including 7 cats, 8 golden retrievers, 2 cocker spaniels, a terrier mix, and 2 rabbits. I devoted over 5 years in rescue as a foster of over 20 dogs, focusing primarily on care-giving for senior, special needs, and behavioral dog situations. I volunteered for ten years at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah working with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I have also done vacation relief at a 24-hour boarding facility caring for up to 15 dogs. Additionally, I have participated in several dog training and socializing programs. I spent many years as a pet photographer and am currently a co-owner in a dog treat-baking company. Having recently retired from a full-time professional career as the Executive Director of Arizona Highways PhotoScapes, I have ample time to give your furry friend(s) the love, attention, and care while you are away.
