I was raised in Portland, OR on my family’s farm. Besides working in our vineyard, helping my parents make wine, harvesting the garden, and making apple cider from our apple trees, I have been an animal lover since day one. Since I was a little girl I have been a companion and caretaker to chickens, quail, bunnies, and dogs. I recently have expanded my love for animals to include cats having spent an increasing amount of time with cats who belong to my friends. Now in college at Gonzaga University, I realize how special animals are to me, and I deeply miss my pets at home. I see this as a fantastic opportunity for me to connect with families, form meaningful relationships, and offer my care and companionship to pets in the Spokane area.
