Worked at a no-kill animal shelter

Pet care experience

I worked at a no-kill animal shelter taking care of 100 plus dogs on a daily basis. I've seen everything and walked them all! From 2 month puppies to 13 year old dogs, I have experience taking care of them all. I am kind, gentle, and enthusiastic - so I can be high energy or low energy depending on what your dog needs. I understand dog body language and can read what they're communicating to me. I currently have loads of availability, so I can pretty much come whenever you need me. I also have zookeeping experience, so I know and understand how to care for a variety of animals. Enrichment (mental stimulation) is really important for all animals, and I have a lot of experience creating and administering novel enrichment to animals of all types.

In the past five years I have known Grace, I have seen the joy she gets from working with animals. Whether it be with exotic species while working as a zookeeper or with her own cats and dog at home, Grace knows how to deliver animal enrichment. Seeing her dog Paprika grow from a shy shelter rescue into a loving, charismatic pup is the perfect example of Grace's way with dogs.
