About: I’ve had animals in my life as long as I can remember. I am currently attending school to get a vet tech degree. I have both volunteered and worked at animal shelters and have taken classes on dog behavior and handling. I work until 3:30 during the week so I have lots of free time in the afternoons. I have two days off a week that I can also take on more pet care. I am currently not planning on boarding or pet sitting in my own home. The pets in my own home get time to run and play outside, daily walks, and lots of time spent on training.
