I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever who lived to be 16. Sadly, his health slowly deteriorated as I was in graduate school while living at home, but this allowed me to gain valuable experience with a senior pup. I have always enjoyed horses and horse-back riding, I often volunteered through college at a local stable to get my horse fix! Something about those gentle, giants just speaks to me! I have watched several friends and family members pets at their homes while out of town. I have had friends recommend me to their other friends and family as well. I have demonstrated reliability and integrity. I currently have two cats, Finley and Paisley, and a floppy eared rabbit named Willow. I often bring Willow to work with me; she acts as a therapy rabbit at my place of employment. I also frequently assist my parents with their current rambunctious Labrador Retriever, who I lovingly refer to as my "puppy brother." I assist with walking, bathing, feeding and doing drop ins when they are gone for the day.
