I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepards in the house, and by age 10 was working on farms with many horses, small and large dogs, and cats both feral and domesticated. During college I took some time off from working with those animals, and I realized how much joy those animals had brought to my life. After college graduation I went right back to jobs where I got to handle animals every day, and I couldn’t be happier! With many years of experience in managing daily medications for over 25 animals at a time, I am very comfortable handling animals that may need extra care in terms of health. I also have extensive experience with aggressive, protective or nervous dogs - particularly large ones - and feel comfortable caring for them. Puppies are also welcome and I am happy to work on basic training with them if you’d like! I love hiking and running so if you have dogs that would prefer a faster pace or more adventure just let me know and I’m happy to add some extra fun/exercise to our trips! I understand every animal is unique and I so look forward to getting to know yours :)
