I have been an animal lover my whole life, my mom always called me an “animal whisperer” growing up. I have had dogs for my entire life and spent a lot of time in high school housesitting for our family friends while they were out of town. I have taken care of both dogs and cats extensively, and love to take their dogs out for long walks, runs, or even adventures to the dog park. I also spent a lot of time riding horses as a kid and also have had a pet parakeet, several fish, a leopard gecko, rabbit, and two frogs.
