Carleigh L.
“Carleigh has been a pet lover all her life. When she was a young child, our family raised AKC registered boxers and Carleigh loved being in the middle of the puppies. She has always lived in a home with several dogs of different temperaments and breeds. She also loves cats and has had, at times, a pet fish and pet hamster. In her early adolescence, Carleigh became interested in horses which led to competitive English riding, owning and caring for a horse. Carleigh understands that animals look to their humans for love, care and affection, as well as direction, discipline and authority. I trust carleigh 🙀 with all of my pets and highly recommend her to anyone else!”
