Hello! I am a respectful, trustworthy, and responsible working professional who is passionate about animal welfare. For three years, I was a volunteer at a dog shelter where I have trained and have experience with a variety of rescue dogs, including large and more "aggressive" breeds. I have experience in a variety of behaviors (I have training in dogs who have guarding tendencies), dog walking, overnight stays, and maintaining the cleanliness of dogs and their living space. I was also trusted with taking out the rescue dogs from their kennels to go on hikes and other interactive activities that they would otherwise not receive on a day-to-day basis in a kennel. If you have a cat- all the better! I'll be happy to accommodate your cat and its needs. I grew up in a house with a family who adored cats so, I am well practiced in the art of taking care of our feline friends. Grooming a cat with claws is a piece of cake! Scooping litter? I can do that in my sleep. A little bit about me, growing up, I was always surrounded by animals of all kinds and sizes. Instead of babysitting- I was pet-sitting! I was the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. Thus, I am capable of taking care of a variety of animals. I'm an aspiring cat lady! I have two cats of my own and their names are Winston and Reginald! They are the light of my life. I also go home frequently to visit the family cats; BenBen, MoMo, Hank, and Coco. When I'm not hanging out with our furry friends, I am a self-proclaimed geek who loves rocking it out to tunes in the car, hiking and conquering the mountains, trying new foods, and catching the latest blockbuster in theaters. Thank you for your consideration!
