I have lived my whole live around dogs, cats, small animals and even horses. I grew up working in mom's grooming shop but when I went away to college I discovered my real passion for animal care. I missed my pets at home so much I got a job at a boutique pet nutrition store where I learned more than I ever thought I could about dog and cat nutrition and care. After graduation and finding a full time job I still wanted to pursue my passion for educating dog and cat parents on proper feeding and care so I started working part time at a pet supply store in Montvale, New Jersey. I call it my 'fun' job. I currently have 2 cats but I can't have a dog where I live and I miss the love and companionship that only a dog can give. I have experience feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with both small and large dogs as well as cats. I want to make the most of my free time and I can't think of a better way to spend it than with a dog!
