**I have recently moved to the AZ area from OH, so my availability will vary. Thank you for your patience** I was the kid to bring home stray animals and beg my parents to keep them, be told no but manage to keep them, secretly name them, and add another new family member! It is safe to say I've got a huge soft spot for all things that purr, bark, whinny, squawk, trill, or otherwise! I grew up and have previously worked with animals for years now; currently, I have experience with some pocket pets, dogs, cats, and chicken, ha! Outside of pet care, I am a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, having just moved to the area - I am looking forward to exploring the trails with my dog and family! Growing up I had 4 long-term furry family members, and now have my own! I love running and playing with my dog, Ivan- that's him and our family in the photo! Once the weather is nice, we take him hiking a lot as he's a high-energy breed! On our calm days, just a small walk to the playground and back home is enough to suffice. Reasonably, I can accommodate most schedules and needs for your pets. I am certified in human CPR and First Aid and have previously cross-trained in canine/feline CPR and First Aid. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your extended family safe and loved! Thank you! ** A $10.00 fee for pets with special needs/care, unvaccinated pets, and medication administration. ** I offer a discount for first responders, military members AND their spouses, and teachers!
