I grew up with all kinds of pets in my home for my entire life, ranging from cats and dogs to geckos and turtles, and I have always had a tremendous amount of love and compassion for animals! Not only did I have five dogs growing up, but I also helped care for four litters of puppies — 16 pups total! This allowed me to learn how to care for dogs of all ages, including tasks like walking, feeding, bathing, potty breaks, playing, and more. I have several years of experience with pet-sitting and walking a variety of breeds of dogs for friends and family while they have been away from home, whether it be for one day or for over a week. I have also done photography work for a local dog grooming company owned and run by my aunt (a love for dogs runs in the family!). I also grew up with 4 cats, and now have one of my own!
