11. Kaytlyn V.
About: Throughout my life, animals have always been a central part of my routine. Growing up, I was responsible for taking our dogs out for walks, which not only gave me a solid understanding of their daily exercise needs but also helped build my sense of responsibility and connection with pets. My first job was as a dog bather, where I learned essential grooming skills such as washing, drying, and brushing dogs to keep them comfortable and healthy. This role gave me hands-on experience with a variety of dog breeds and taught me how to handle them gently and effectively during grooming sessions. In addition to my work with dogs, I have experience caring for other pets, including hamsters, fish, and cats. This diverse exposure has made me proficient in creating proper environments for small animals and managing aquariums, as well as providing the right nutrition and enrichment for cats. Currently, I take care of an elderly dog every day, which has deepened my understanding of senior pet care. I make sure my dog receives the attention, medication, and comfort they need to maintain their quality of life. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care in ensuring animals are healthy, happy, and well-loved. I have a lot of free time I can work to 9:00am to 5:30 if I need to go early I can but I need to know before hand I live in a dog save apartment I have a small dog Area for my dogs and they are very friendly and I have a crate For your dog if needed
