Passionate animal care provider

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals my whole life. But I credit my real start to my first dog, Macey. My parents picked her up for free from some farm that had an accidental litter of mutt puppies. We weren’t even sure all her breeds but she was short,chunky, and very very spicy. Around the time I was 10 years old she had been officially kicked out of the groomers for biting. I decided then I could do it for her! (Plus my mothers haircuts for Macey were interesting to say the least lol) I learned a lot from her in empathy and compassion and how far that will really take you with any animal. So I started volunteering at the local shelter to get more experience. Before I could work I would get jobs from family and family friends caring for their pets while they were away. Once I was old enough I got a job at a vet/boarding facility. I loved caring for the animals and got most of my medical experience there. After I met my husband around 21 I moved here after getting certified in pet grooming. I immediately started working as a pet stylist and eventually became a AKC certified pet groomer. After 5 years and few hand injuries I decided I needed a change and nothing felt more fitting then getting back to my roots of caring for pets while their owners are away. 🥰
