I am a compassionate animal lover with over 3 years of paid animal care experience in doggy daycare and dog boarding, as well as a lifetime of personal experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and more! My husband and I currently have a dog, 2 cats, a rabbit with free reign of the house, a turtle, and a tortoise. Throughout my years caring for animals I have learned to understand animal behavior, communication, their body language, dog breeds, and specific characteristics. I am also knowledgeable about pet nutrition, can administer most medications, and recognize illnesses. I was the 2015 recipient of the Golden Paws Award for outstanding animal activism from The Animal Rescue League of Bedford, which demonstrates my commitment to helping animals in need. I am also known for being positive and dependable, so rest assured should you choose me to care for your animals... I hold the highest standards of animal care at all times and will treat your fur babies like my own!
