I'm so fortunate to have had a lifetime of experience caring for animals. As a graduate of UMass Amherst with a B.S. in Animal Science (concentration in Animal Management), I am the qualified professional you're looking for. I have years of experience with in-home dog boarding, house-sitting, fostering, walking, training, and playing! I've also had the incredible opportunity to take part in raising and training service dogs full-time, beginning when they were 8 weeks old. And of course I've spent lots of time caring for beloved family pets in a variety of capacities, personal and professional. I have a soft spot for large and giant breeds, but I love all dogs just the same! In addition, I have a great deal of experience and knowledge in caring for horses and most species of livestock, and am happy to provide farm visits/farm-sitting services. I've just moved to West Hartford, and I'm ready to meet plenty of new furry friends! I am available 24/7 to provide dog-walking, home visits, and house/farm-sitting services. I look forward to meeting your pets soon!
