Certified Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I didn't have dogs growing up because we lived in an apartment but when I moved out on my own the first thing I did was to get a dog, Hannah. I have Hannah for 15 years and she passed away of natural causes. She moved with me from NY to California and then to Atlanta...she was my best friend. I didn't get another dog after she passed but I did start pet sitting which I have been doing on and off for the last 10 years. I am currently doing doggy daycare and overnights at a facility in Ventura and I also do personal pet sitting which includes walks and overnights. I have been working with animals for over 20 years. I have had a career in the aquarium industry for 16 years and over the last 4 years I have been working with critically endangered turtles and tortoises. I am currently focusing on a project working with Indonesian turtles and spend much of my time grant writing and drafting proposals. Pet sitting allows me to make money while doing something I love and I am passionate about.

I am writing this to strongly recommend Christine Light for a position within your company. She is a dynamic individual with impeccable bearing, a positive attitude, and tireless work ethic. Christine has consistently demonstrated her expertise in caring for animals. I quickly learned she was a reliable, hard-working, and motivated employee who is well-versed within the animal care field. She has shown to be an indispensable member of The Wild Rose Ranch & Animal Sanctuary and has strongly contributed to its success thus far. Canines that have been brought to the WRR with severe emotional damage have made tremendous improvement thanks to Christine’s continuous and patient work with them. I can state without hesitation that Christine would be a positive contribution and dedicated employee in any company for which she is employed. Therefore, I have absolute confidence in giving my recommendation for Christine Light and sincerely hope you consider her for this opportunity within your company. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.

Christine has been caretaking my animals for almost a year now. She is very responsible, dependable and attentive to my animal’s needs. Christine’s responsibilities at my small ranch in Ojai are: - Care of 7 dogs, 2 horses, a goat and a sheep - Feeding and watering, grooming, cleaning play areas and stalls. - Sweep and general house cleaning duties. Christine has been a wonderful addition to my furry friends’ care. She is loving and caring to my animals which gives me a sense of security when I am away from my loved ones. I would highly recommend Christine for any position that she feels she is capable of accomplishing.
