My entire life I have had different pets of all ages and when I was younger I really wanted to be a veterinarian. Now my career goals have changed, but my love for animals/pets has not. In total I have had 10 pets throughout my life; 6 dogs and 4 cats. In high school, my oldest dog Gibson was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and needed to start taking medicine. I learned how to cut/give pills of all sizes to him even when he was picky and didn't want to. Sadly he passed almost 2 years ago, but I gained a lot of experience in senior care. Around the same time, I also got a puppy named Gryffin. I went through it all from potty training to teaching him how to shake. I also have had 3 cats of my own; 2 of them were indoor/outdoor and my most recent baby is an indoor cat. I usually teach my cats to go outside like the dogs, but now living in an apartment I have now had to use litter boxes. Growing up with this many animals I have had to handle some pretty crazy stuff and nothing is too much for me. I can handle small pets, big pets, special needs pets, sick pets, and any other pet you have. My pets have been a huge part of my life and I understand wanting them to always be in the best care. That is why I know I would be great at this job.
