My name is Aurie and I’m a recent graduate who has always been an animal lover. I studied animal behavior in college and I’m trying to turn my natural love for animals into a career. I have worked with all kinds of animals, but primarily dogs, cats, reptiles and birds – in addition to growing up with pets, I also have over a decade’s worth of experience working with animals in shelters, wildlife rehabilitation centers, zoos and pet sitting for friends and family. I have learned safe animal handling skills and how to administer medication if ever needed and I am a savvy dog trainer as well. I am an honest, diligent and dependable person who is eager to help care for your furry friend! In addition to my lengthy experience working with dogs, I also am from New England so weather does not phase me! Is it snowing or icy outside? No problem, I'm the girl for the job!
