Dogs have always been part of my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, and caring for them, exercise, routines, training is just my normal day to day.. I also work with Search and Rescue dogs, which has shaped how I handle animals: calm, observant, and structured without being harsh. I’m used to reading body language, managing high energy dogs, and keeping things safe in unfamiliar or distracting environments. I’ve completed animal first aid training, most recently within the last year, focused on working dogs, so I know what to look for when something feels off and how to respond if it does.
