Since the day I was born I have been around pets, and have always been very drawn to animals. My true pet care experience began when I was 15 years old and my parents brought home a black lab named Billy Boy. Fast-forward 19 years and I've now been the caretaker and companion of a pup named Crumm for almost 10 years now. I feed her the best of the best food, exercise her regularly (hikes, big dog park visits, swim spots) and give her the best life possible. I also cared for a very sweet, friendly, FIV+ cat named Eloise for almost 4 years. I’m currently caring for 2 snakes (Albert and Goose), a bearded dragon (Petey), and a previously feral cat named Bunny. I have a good amount of experience rehabbing feral and stray cats, and am comfortable working with more aggressive cats or cats with injuries. I’ve also spent a ton of time (and experience) learning how to safely and comfortable introduce 2 new cats. I worked at a small, local pet shop in Denver for 3 years, and have learned a lot about high-end food, dog training methods, and different dog personalities. I've babysat many friend's pets, family pets, and roommate's pets over the last 17 years. I've never met a dog I don't get along with. I really enjoy taking dogs on trips, and helping with training. My dog was very stubborn and difficult to train when we first met, so I've had a lot of experience with different dog training methods. I also love getting to know each individual dog’s personality, and it can become quite a journey.
