I started working with animals when I was 16 at the SPCA. I fell in love caring for animals and decided to make it a profession. I graduated UCF with a biology degree and while I was going to college I worked at Petsmart as a dog bather. I am now an aquarium biologist and animal trainer at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FL. I primarily train and care for River Otters, but also work with Sea Turtles, Manatees, and Alligators. I love working with and talking care of all animals. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I know that taking great care of them is a lot of work and your dog will be in capable, responsible hands. In my house our pets are family and I will treat you pets the same.
