From the time I was born, I’ve never lived without dogs, and never plan to! I have a lifetime of experience caring for and entertaining our four legged friends. I understand that each dog is unique and I easily adjust to their individual comfort and needs. When you’re away, it’s my goal to make sure that your pup has as much fun as possible to distract from your absence. I have years of animal husbandry and veterinary experience under my belt. A dog specific first aid kit is with me at all times, both on outdoor adventures and in home. I treat all animals like they are one of my own and ensure they are happy and healthy while you are away. As a kid, I never watched anything other than Animal Planet and dreamed of becoming a wildlife conservationist like Steve Irwin. Today, not much has changed, although I have gained a lot more professional experience. Since starting college, I have worked as a veterinary technician for Last Chance Animal Rescue in Waldorf, Maryland, and Peachtree Animal Hospital in Poolesville, Maryland. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society of Charles County. Through these experiences I have been exposed to countless different fuzzy personalities. Under the supervision of certified dog trainers, I have also learned positive reinforcement training techniques and studied dog behavior. With experience I have found that proper mental and physical exercise are the most important factors when it comes to canine health, and I strive to meet the demands of every dog I come across. I also have extensive professional and personal experience with cats, birds, ferrets, fish, reptiles, arachnids, domestic fowl, goats, pigs, and horses!
