I started working with animals at 13 years old volunteering at the local animal shelter at 40 hrs a week. Most of the dogs we boarded were abandoned or saved from the kill shelter. Some even suffered from abuse. I've learned the importance of building a relationship with every animal and the patience to put their needs first. In the past years I've taken care of countless pets from a puppy Pomeranian to a three-legged golden lab (not to mention my time watching a ferret). Currently, I am the proud owner of a calico cat named Veronica and have a cocker spaniel/poodle mix living back at home. As a bonus I will gladly take care of any plants you may own for I am the daughter of a farmer that grew up on a ranch in Nebraska.
