Not only have I grown up and been raised around all sorts of animals (not just dogs, to be fair ;)), I also did a year of work in a grooming salon that, again, serviced all types of fur family members, but I also did some volunteer work with a working agricultural farm. From all of these experiences not only have I learned so much about all animals, our friendly pups included!, but I also learned techniques on handling and training, bathing and trimming nails, and some health related info too that often comes from lifetimes of shared bonds with our canine, feline, flying, and all the above, friends. So, if for example, a pup finds a hive of ground bees before I can stop them, I know what to do, what to look for in case of anaphylactic shock, and how to get your pup comfortable until the next step is decided. It's a worst case scenario, but it's always a good thing to have someone around who knows what to do.My furry friends are and have always been my family, and I automatically treat yours the same. They are your family. So, if you need a sitter for your furry kidio, give me a holler and a try. We usually end up having as much fun as I would grooming or working on the farm!
