I have had my own pets for at least 10 years, but have also had a lot of experience caring for rescues, farm animals, and caged animals. I have two rescue pups and 2 cats that are my babies. I understand how difficult it can be to leave them behind while you are away. I will care for your animals exactly as I do my own. I have experience working with reactive dogs, and am comfortable handling them. My two rescues both have a history of reactivity, and I have worked closely with trainers to help curb their behaviors. I am patient and understanding. I currently foster dogs with a local dog rescue. Not only do we provide a temporary home, but we also help with basic obedience and house manners. I’m also experienced in giving medications as needed. I went to a vocational high school where I studied veterinary science. We cared for several cows, donkeys, chickens, and sheep. As well as managed a variety a small cage animals, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, etc. This is also where I learned some basic grooming care.
