I have always loved animals and grew up with all different types of animals! I started watching and caring for friends dogs at only 14 years old, that drove me to start working at a large emergency veterinary hospital where worked for over 15 years as a registered veterinary technician. I moved to San Diego to work with the Navy's Marine Mammal Program, where I work with marine mammals. While continuing to work with dog's and cats in local emergency veterinary hospitals. I currently work full time but work about 2 miles from my home, so I come home on my lunch. I also live with my partner so even when we both are working your pet would only be alone for 6 hours. We also both work a alternative work schedule and are off Saturday- Monday. I have a fenced in backyard with 2 very friendly Labradors (one is a career change guide dog) we go to the dog park a few times a week. Our dogs and any dogs we care for our part of our family. We love for dogs to cuddle with us or hang out on there beds in what ever room we are in.
