Pet care experience

▫️Experience▫️ My experience with dogs started as a young teen when I volunteered at service dog training center where we trained dogs to assist people with physical disabilities. Several years later, I took what I learned and started my own boarding and obedience training business, which eventually led to training dogs for tricks that put them on national TV. I’m not currently available for training dogs, but I am available for drop ins. Boarding is available for exotics, birds, or other small caged animals if we have room. I have my own parrots and aquatic turtle so I’m accustomed to handling unique diets, fresh foods, and the specialized care that’s required. Animals I have cared for include: rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, goats, donkeys, chickens, birds, turtles, and fish. (And of course, cats and dogs!)
