I'm an elementary school teacher full time, but I have a long history of pet care. Growing up with animals of all types, my family and I fostered, adopted, and cared for many dogs. I also spent most of my childhood in a pet store or working alongside my mom in her grooming shop. It's during these times that we began learning how to train dogs, and my mom is now a certified dog trainer. I feel like my experience with animals, as well as my close connection with a dog trainer makes me well qualified to look after your fur-babies! Since I don't have my own dog right now, I enjoy loving and caring for pets from my friends and family. I'm available most evenings and nearly every weekend, and enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. My favorite thing to do is take a dog for a walk, short hike, or enjoy some social time at the dog park!
