What sets me apart? I’ve basically been the neighborhood animal whisperer since I could walk. Raised by the biggest animal lover I know (thanks mom😁), I’ve owned and cared for everything from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, bunnies, and even horses. At 14, I landed my first job walking and caring for four big pups in my neighborhood —scooping poop and throwing tennis balls like a pro for two years straight. But what really sets me apart is my lifelong dedication to animal care. I wanted to be a vet as early as second grade, and by 14, I was shadowing my dog’s veterinarian —assisting with nail clippings, prepping medications and shots, and observing surgeries. I’ve also volunteered at adoption events, helped with animal transports, supported rescue organizations, and yes I’m absolutely the girl who’ll pull over to rescue a stray and wait hours to get them safely home. I’ve house-sat and walked for families with dogs, cats, chickens, and goats, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple animals. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a long walk, or a weekend of snuggles and scheduled meds, I treat every animal like they’re my own.
