Pet care experience

Hello! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! I grew up with a Bichon for 17 years. In between, I have had Guinea pigs for 8 years. I have a 5 yr old Havanese named Blanche and she is my life! I am currently a zookeeper at the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium and work with a variety of species everyday. Whether it's birds, reptiles, or mammals, I always strive to give every animal the best care possible! I also have vet care experience, and specialize in animal training:)

Joanie did a great job with Lulu! Would recommend her especially for first time users of Rover! The communication was awesome as well to coordinate a last minute first time visit
