I have had no less than 4 dogs since I have had my own place and have shown, bred and trained them. I can also care for horses if needed. I have been a professional groomer and have helped as a vet tech in small animal clinics I groomed in. I also managed a professional dog kennel for a while before becoming a groomer. I am still active in showing and training but am home more than out. I also am in chesterfield area frequently to care for my mother so west St. Louis County i very doable for me. If needed I have references available upon request from vets and clients with horses, dogs, and cats I have cared for. I currently have four dogs of my own and five horses so I will need to leave to come and care for my own animals if house sitting for more than a night or two.
