As a child, I grew up with a cat, a dog, a turtle, and fish. As a teenager, I took up the responsibility of feeding said cat and dog. Family members also started asking me to take care of their pets. Most memorably, I took care of my aunt's chickens, feeding them and cleaning their coop. While on deployment to the Philipines, there were dogs that came to our project site at lunch, and I took to one and fed it some of my lunch every day. I wish I could have brought him home. From late 2018 to early 2021, I lived in a household with five dogs and took care of the dogs when the owners had to travel. Certifications: * American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid
