I have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I currently foster dogs for local rescues and have been fostering for over seven years. I taught preschool for 17 years and have a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science. Pet care is still my favorite job! I have five dogs and a few reptiles of my own. I have handled a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs for dogs and cats. I have also cared for chickens, ducks, fish, birds, reptiles, and several smaller animals (hedgehogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits). While I have a great memory, I am still meticulous about creating and following checklists. I am always willing to learn new pet care skills if I don't already have the knowledge. I want every client to feel like my top priority, and I want every pet to feel like they're my favorite! I understand the importance of reliability when it comes to caring for your pets. I will prioritize the well-being and safety of your pets at all times and always show them kindness and patience.
