I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. My family has always had dogs and cats, and my brother raises horses, so I’ve been exposed to animals big and small. I also helped my little cousins care for their variety of pets—including hamsters, guinea pigs, and even hedgehogs—so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. On a personal level, I raised and trained both a German Shepherd and a Pitbull from puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with exercise, obedience, and building trust with strong, energetic breeds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping pets comfortable and happy, I treat every animal as if they were my own.
