At age 16, I became a bather at a local dog grooming salon and began dog sitting/walking for family and friends. My reputation for my love of animals and great care for my clients' pets spread like wildfire, and I couldn't be more thankful! I've worked at a local pet store now for 7 years while pursuing a degree in nursing. I have experience with all pets from saltwater fish tanks, dogs, cats, rats, reptiles, horses, and everything in between. I also have experience with nail trimmings, wing clippings, special diets, elderly dog care, pet first aid, etc. and plenty of references upon request. I am extremely active and love to hike with my canine companions! For the older or lazy pups, a quiet day in full of cuddles and love is just as rewarding. With your permission, I love to text pictures of your dogs having fun throughout the day to you!
