I've had pets my entire life since I was a child: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, & even snakes and lizards. I love all animals and enjoy connecting & taking care of them. I am usually very good at being tuned in with animals and feel very comfortable with them, and them with me. I've raised and trained several pets in my lifetime, so I'm familiar with what that takes. I'm also a relatively strong and physically active person, so I'm comfortable with larger dogs, and can handle taking them on walks, even if they tend to be high energy. I'm also comfortable with being assertive when needed. The combination of my love for animals and my good communication and people skills, along with being responsible, respectful, reliable, and trust worthy is what make me great for this type of work. Since I also love to travel, I understand the stress of leaving your home and your pets behind when you need to leave. My goal is to help make you feel as easeful as possible, and give you confidence knowing that you've left things in good hands and in safe care.
