I'm 26 years old. I grew up in the Nampa countryside on a farm with my various Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and cats. I frequently cared for my neighbors' animals after age 11. I've cared for dogs, including three litters of newborn pups (8 at once!) and their mothers (retrievers and Scottish Terriers), as well as cats and kittens, chickens, horses, cows, chickens, and rats. Halfway into an English degree, I realized I wanted to be a vet tech instead, meaning child me was on the right track when she said she wanted to be a vet. I'm saving up to attend a community college for a vet tech degree now. I'm kind, compassionate, reliable, adaptive, dedicated, gentle, and passionate. I believe being patient and affectionate will make any pet open their heart to you. I'll do all I can to ease their anxiety when you're away and treat them as family. I aim to become a familiar, warm presence for in their lives. I am thorough in making sure that I'm caring for them on a familiar way to minimize anxiety, catering to their schedules and using known command words. I educate myself during my free time on how to recognize behavioral signs of anxiety, aggression, and physical ailments.
