I have always had dogs in my life and have been personally petsitting since 2010. I have also worked at a dog daycare/boarding/grooming facility during the summer and winter months since 2019. I have worked with a variety of dogs ranging from large Great Danes to the tiniest of Chihuahuas, all with varying needs. A few of my responsibilities have included: communicating with customers on a daily basis about their pets, providing updates, expressing concerns, and answering questions to aid in the increase of transparency and trust between the customers, the business, and its employees. I was also responsible for monitoring group play with up to 15 dogs, preparing food, washing dishes, and disinfecting playrooms and kennels to provide a safe and healthy environment for the animals and staff.
