Hi! I am a lifelong pet enthusiast and have owned and cared for a variety of animals. Growing up my family home was a bit of a zoo as we owned everything from dogs to Savannah monitors and cats to salt water fish. My first pet was a black labrador retriever that I grew up with and my family continued to rescue black labrador retrievers well into my early 20s. I dont currently own a dog but look forward to spending time with yours and getting outdoors more often! I do have a cat who is very friendly and doesn't mind dogs - he's a very calm cool cat that enjoys playing with dogs actually! I regularly dog sit for my brother who has a jack Russell terrier mix and a great pyrenees mix, and for my best friend who has a boxer mix and a german shepard/hound mix. I'm a sucker for big dogs, but have experience with smaller breeds as well. Aside from my love of all things animal related, I have a degree in education and am very passionate about helping the community and those in need.
