Hi! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and learn about my experience caring for your furry loved ones. In this section, I will provide an overview of my experience working with and caring for animals. I am a lifelong pet owner and have wonderful companionships with dogs, cats, fish, and a turtle. I currently have one kitty named Kiki and he is 5 years old. I rescued him when he was 7 weeks old. I have one red ear slider turtle named Snappy and she is 7 years old. I have been a sponsor of the Gentle Barn where I have sponsored two of their animals: Peggy the chicken and Hiroka the Horse. I visit whenever I am able to do so. Personally, I had three amazing, wonderful dachshunds named Bear, Wilbur, and Betsy. They were the loves of my life and we did everything together. They have sadly crossed the rainbow bridge recently and I miss them everyday. Bear was 15, Wilbur was 16, and Betsy was 15. I had Bear since he was an 8 week old puppy and I adopted Wilbur from a shelter when he was 8.5 years old. I rescued Betsy when she was around 6 years old. If you see lots of photos of lots of dachshunds on here, those are my babies! Professionally, I have 14 years of paid experience in the pet care field. I have experience with overnight housesitting (shortest stay was one night, longest stay was 3 weeks). I have experience with dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet taxi services. I have cared for all kinds of personalities and temperaments, ranging from easy going, to slow to warm, etc. Great Danes and tea cup chihuahuas...I've cared for all sizes! I also have experience with cats, chickens, peacocks, turtles, tortoises, and fish. The best part of my job is the relationships built with both the pet and client! I have many long time clients who have used my services weekly for 7+ years. I am convinced that I have the best job in the world!
