When I was a kid I wanted to be a dog trainer or work in wildlife rehabilitation. I went as far as to shadow a service dog trainer and a local veterinarian in their field of work to explore the possibility of working with animals as a career. Before I was old enough to work, I interned at YoDog Groomers for a summer. Then my first job was at Aspen Kennels, where I was sole caretaker of 12 dogs at a time for 6 hours per day. I became super comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. My job description was administering medications, avoiding and breaking up dog fights, and following written pet care instruction from dozens of different owners. I loved that job and kept at it for 3 years until I had to free up some time to finish high school. I've been caring for my own dogs, cats, chickens, and fish for 8 years and other people's pets ever since I was old enough to drive and work. Currently, I work regular jobs pet sitting for 7 poodles and dog walking a clients terrier. I do house sitting and pet sitting when the opportunities arise, and I have several references to provide if requested :) I just graduated high school and will be in and out of the valley, looking to earn money, house myself, and continue being a great caretaker to cats and dogs and other pets.
