It all began with my very first dog when I was young and since then, I've been obsessed with them! Growing up, I had the pleasure of owning unforgettable dogs, loving cats, farm animals and just about any type of pet you can think of! As I got older, I turned my passion into a career and started working with dogs in a professional setting. I have 7 years of experience working in different daycares, kennels and doing personal dog walks for friends and family. At my most recent job, I worked my way up to become the manager of the entire facility after working there for almost 6 years! During that time, I've learned how to handle dogs of different size and temperament. I'm very well knowledgeable on dog behavior and have acquired skills such as proper leash manners/handling along with other various training tricks while in various pet care settings. Administering medications, feeding allergy specific food and following other detail instructions provided by pet owners are all tasks I've mastered while at my previous pet care jobs. I've also perfected services like providing baths, trimming/filling nails and cleaning ears that I can offer to you and your furry friend! Working in a daycare setting truly has grown my perspective and understanding for dogs that gave me a deep connection to them in a special way. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and am working at an animals sanctuary that specifically provides for animals with behavioral and medical needs! Even the tough cookies who may have a hard time or have difficult personalities. I treat every animal like they're my own and strive to make the strongest bond I can with any I get the pleasure to know. Providing endless amounts of love and patience for your animal is my pleasure!
