Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and personalized care for every pet. I'm a third-year University of Georgia student majoring in Animal Biosciences on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets in both veterinary and boarding settings. Throughout high school, I worked as a kennel technician, caring for more than a dozen boarding dogs at a time. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and administering oral and topical medications. I also earned a Fear Free Handling Certification, strengthening my ability to recognize and appropriately respond to both canine and feline body language. I'm currently an intern at a veterinary clinic, where I'm gaining hands-on experience with patient care while practicing medication and injection administration under veterinary supervision. I also regularly volunteer as a trainer with the Guide Dog Foundation, where I continue developing my skills in positive reinforcement and canine behavior. At home, I care for my own German Shepherd and Great Dane/Labrador mix, giving me extensive experience with large, energetic breeds and senior pet care. You can expect dependable communication, regular photo updates, and attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet's unique needs.
