Engaging animal lover and friend

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals; an Airdale Terrier, while my neighbors had goats, rodents, cats, chickens and horses. I have also previously worked at Petco with exposure to all different kinds, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rodents, snakes, turtles, amphibians, fish, birds, insects and arachnids. I gained a wealth of experience in my time at Petco insofar as animal care, basic needs and behavior. I have privately pet sat for friends before and have an intimate understanding animal body language; most pets really enjoy my presence. I strive to be well-versed in how to interact with high-anxiety, nervous, scared and/or elderly animals. Personally, I am friendly, amiable and flexible. I always do my absolute best to create, maintain and strengthen good relationships with pets and owner.

Aaron has come to know my dog, Kepler, over the past several months. She is a Formosan / Taiwan dog and a shy, nervous, fearful rescue and does not quickly warm up to new people. Aaron listened to my instructions as to how to best interact with her, and slowly but surely (and with lots of cheese) Kepler now greets him with wiggling excitement and is happy to see him. It has been such a lovely thing to watch, and it is obvious Aaron cares deeply for animals and love and cares for them as his own.

While Aaron is fantastic with all my dogs, I have to mention one special relationship he has. I have a very shy Schnauzer, who at some point early in her life was neglected. She really takes time to warm up to anyone, especially men. But with Aaron, it was love at first site. She gets so excited when she sees him, and he replies in kind with love and affection. Makes me happy how comfortable she is around him and how he goes out of his way to reassure her.
