Hello! I believe a happy dog is a good dog, and seek to provide the social support, mental stimulation, and physical activity that your pet needs to thrive! I’m a lifelong pet lover, with a variety of animal care experiences. I have a strong background in pet care, focusing on dogs including special-needs animals (geriatric, motherless newborns, moms with litters, special needs, subcutaneous/IV/oral medication administration, physical therapy, psychological therapy for abused/neglected rescue cases, etc). My passion is helping abused animals overcome their psychological trauma and learn to be happy and confident in their new lives. I've been pet sitting professionally for over a decade, have interned with small animal veterinarians, worked and volunteered in shelters, and fostered dogs and packs. I was an active member of FFA, and have cared for swine, cattle, horses, and chickens. I'm very comfortable with large animals, livestock, cats, exotics, small mammals, and birds, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes, with and without special needs.
