Hello! My name is Ciara and I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals. I was raised in a family of animal lovers and over my life I have been the proud owner of three dogs ( a miniature schnauzer and two Portuguese Water Dogs), a bunny rabbit, and a horse! I am extremely active and enjoy spending time outdoors with the animals I care for taking them on walks, runs, or just hanging out in a park! As a child I interned in a veterinarians office and with zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo and was very interested in become a veternarian myself but decided to pursue my passion for working with young children and now teach preschool! In the past I have volunteered as a foster mother for puppies and elderly sick dogs with the SPCA, so I am comfortable working with young and old dogs, and administering medicine if needed. I would love to care for your special friend and can’t wait to meet you!
