I have been around animals my whole life. We have always had a family dog (sometimes four or five) and there's nothing quite like coming home to that face. My mother owned and operated her own dog-sitting business for many years in which I was very involved and hands on with. I was also a professional dog groomer for seven years which furthered my understanding for dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and personalities! I have experience working with rescue and senior pets and am also able to administer medications. I do have experience with dogs prone to food, leash, dog, child or male human aggression. I have extended experience handling small animals (rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs, etc), birds (including large parrots), fish and reptiles. I am patient, gentle and compassionate and truly love all animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry kids soon!
