I have been in love with dogs all my life. I had my first taste of working in this industry while I was employed with VIP Petcare which is a mobile wellness clinic. Here I learned a lot about feline and canine psychology (including how to read and properly react to the animal's body language), administering vaccines, proper animal restraint, heartworm and parasite prevention, dietary needs, and even how to draw for blood samples. I also had the pleasure to work with and pick the brains of many accomplished Veterinarians during clinic hours. I joined Rover in hopes to increase my experience and build a clientele while I'm in the process of receiving my Canine Training Certification. My goal is to focus my passion and skills so I am able assist any dog owner with learning how to effectively communicate with their dog, ultimately creating the perfect relationship between man and man's best friend. My dog is a reactive one so I have experience dealing with difficult to handle pups. My cat is senior and suffers from hyperthyroidism so I also have experience in special needs situations and can assist with medication administration. I will be in the process of also getting my Canine CPR Certification and will always be looking to further my education in this field of study.
