Pet care experience

Growing up on a few acres of property we always had pets (indoor/outdoor) and I always took a special interest in their well being. As a mere pre-teen, by pure happenstance, I was able to learn basic English horseback riding in exchange for mucking stalls and grooming horses who needed it. Throughout my 20s, my experience flourished by helping family, friends, friends-of-friends, neighbors, and co-workers. I've visited, walked, and fostered different species of animal: dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, birds, bearded dragons, turtles, chickens, pigs, and a couple of horses. Having my full-time career in the world of insurance, tending to others' pets on the side gave me happiness. While going back to college, I worked as a Nurse's Aide receiving high marks for compassion and dedication, and as a dog bather for a stint of time. Currently, working on obtaining an Animal Psychology Certifications, as well as a Pet First-Aid Certification, I fully intend to continue learning all that I can, including what only animals can teach. They make us laugh, intrigue us, and even grant us a bit of "therapy". Connecting with them and assisting them to thrive in the most natural and instinctive sense to them is my passion. Becoming a Professional Pet Care Service Provider just in Fall of 2016 is simply the next step in my journey. Influences: Cesar Millan, Steve(RIP) & Terri Irwin, Maurice Reynolds(RIP)

Amy was a great pet sitter to my rabbit Earnest while I was away for vacation. I came back home and his cage was nicely cleaned - she really went above and beyond!

We were in a pinch when our dog sitting situation fell through this weekend. Any came through and she was awesome. Right from our first meet and greet, her passion came out for her love of animals. We had a
