i have many years of both professional and volunteer experience working with animals. I work with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages at my day job with Haven of the Ozarks. During my nearly four years with Lawrence Pet Friends, I got to walk dogs and provide in-home care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, plus one emperor scorpion named Fluffy. I also spent a summer working with brood mares and their foals at the Kansas Center for Equine Breeding. In my personal life, I have also kept aquatic animals and rats. My experience has included neonatal kittens and puppies, as well as disabled animals. I am comfortable working with blind and deaf animals, seizure-risk animals, and animals with incontinence and mobility issues. I am comfortable giving oral medication and bottle feeding. I am also willing to meet and learn about any kind of pet you may have. Whether I’m there to let your dog out to potty and play a quick game of tug-of-war, or to work with them on leash walking, or to hang out with an anxious kitty while you’re on vacation, I promise to love your animals just as you would!
