My first pet was a palm-sized Chihuahua from my father when I was just 1-year-old. Fittingly we named her Mouse and we spent 17 years together. Growing up, Mouse and I had many dogs, cats, and horses all around us. Animals were considered family and provided an example of unconditional love. My parents taught me that this love was one to be learned from, and has greatly influenced how I treat others. I have been lucky to learn from my mother, who I call "the animal guru" and who I am convinced could go on tour with Cesar Millan, in caring for pets who need medications and special treatment. I also have a cool head, observant nature, and caring that translates into everything I do. I am organized, dependable, and loving. I hope I can give your pet the care, comfort, and joy they have brought to my life each and every day!
