I was raised caring for animals. I've owned and cared for everything from small rodents and birds, to cats and dogs and equines. My parents were never shy of letting me do all of the caregiving of our animals (feeding, grooming, giving medications, etc.) I previously worked on a horse farm where I did everything from feeding specialized diets, head to toe grooming, blanketing, bringing in and turning out, holding horses for the farrier/vet, giving oral and topical medications, and mucking stalls. Currently I work for a boarding kennel taking care of the individual needs of each pet that is being boarded with us. I can not keep other animals in my home because I live with my parents and they have a female Bulldog who doesn't do well with new dogs in her territory. So for everyone's safety, I've limited myself to caring for your pets in your home.
