I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives!
