First and foremost, my care for animals is a family tradition. From the time that I was small, my grandfather was one of the biggest influences on my life and passions - A K-9 unit in the US Army during the Korean War, my grandfather had been working side by side with animals for years. He made sure I had that same love, and that I knew how to handle myself around animals of any size safely. Growing up with a family influence that brought dogs, cats, birds, horses, and more into my life, I've never felt more at home than outside with a furry or feathered friend. When I'm not caring for animals, I am a business owner and self-starter, a wedding planner who started in the Pacific Northwest before moving to California. It's demanding, fast-paced work, and I cherish the time that I can spend caring for animals who can be much more sensible than flustered brides. Reliability means everything, both in the wedding industry and when caring for furry family members. My love for animals combined with the organization of my wedding planning experience, I have a lot to offer your family.
