Animals have been a passion of mine from a very young age. My first personal encounter with a dog was one my family and I rescued and successfully returned to its owner. My dedication to these beautiful creatures is something I take very seriously and will never stop. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, including walking and dogsitting a boxer and puppy pitbull before finally convincing my mom to get one of my own. I now have a 10 year old Maltese and 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, both of whom I adore and care for daily. I was only given permission to get them if my sister and I took full responsibility in caring for them. I can genuinely say, more than a job, being with dogs is something I absolutely love to do and if I could do it forever I would. I am extremely meticulous and willing to follow any rules provided to me by owners. I have also had a lot of experience with high energy dogs that require a great amount of attention- including my own. Patience is also something I feel quite comfortable with due to the stubborn character of my own dog and others I’ve cared for. Any dog can find a friend full of comfort, fun, and love in me.
