Having grown up around farms in Kansas, I have been around animals my whole life. I have been fortunate enough to have and care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I have an extreme love, respect and understanding with animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust and loves your animal as much as you do while you're away. During college, I worked part time at an animal shelter caring for larger dog breeds due to my athletic ability to run and play. Having worked with rescue dogs, I am sensitive to special needs, fears and respect any extra sensitivities your dog might have. I am active, understanding, and able to work with all types of dog personalities. I am so excited to meet your pets and treat them with the utmost care.
