Hello there! I grew up with dogs, cats, snakes, fish, and an iguana. I've always been interested in and loved animals, and that led me to working at a veterinary hospital for a little over a year where I cared for pets after surgery and all the boarded pets. Since then I've taken care of all kinds of animals, even a raccoon and a room full of bearded dragons, for friends and family when they go out of town. Now in my own home I have parrots, 2 dogs, a cat, 2 tortoises, some chickens and a goat.
