I have always been an animal lover from the very start and have cared for pets since I was young. I spent much of my time growing up on a family farm, which exposed me to many different kinds of animals and the responsibilities that come with them. My family has also always had cats, and I now have two of my own. I also have newer experience taking care of my own dog over past two years. My dog is a large breed, high energy girl who I have devotedly cared for since she was 6 weeks old. Because of this, I can say that I am now comfortable and capable of caring for many types of dogs, no matter how energetic, large, or how young. I have always been someone who friends, family, and neighbors have relied on for pet sitting or handling tasks that can be difficult like administering medicine, trimming cat and dog claws, giving baths, and helping animals in any stressful situation. I have lots of patience and a gentle approach. I enjoy taking dogs on long hikes/walks several times per week and love being able to exercise with a dog, especially when it helps meet their needs.
