About: Hey there! My name is Abbie and all 4 years of high school, I was enrolled in the vet program. I worked at a dog groomer/bakery in high school as well. I cared for the dogs, helped the groomers when needed and watched the dogs up front when the owner requested. I also have worked at a dog and cat boarder/daycare. Every morning I would take them outside to the bathroom and let them run around. I fed them on schedule and gave meds as well. In the daycare section, I did the same as well as play with them outside. I would also give them pool time upon the owners request in the summer. For the kitties, I would feed them and give meds. I also would have playtime with them. I have had multiple dogs and cats growing up and took on the responsibilities from a young age. My favorite part was taking them on walks/playtime.
