*I currenty work full time at Hollywood Feed in Mountain Brook. If you're okay with me working a shift during the day, that's great! If you'd like me to be at home with your pets and not leave, please schedule a few weeks in advance so I can make sure my work schedule is cleared up. I'm very flexible I just need good notice.* I've been an animal lover my whole life. When I became old enough to have my own pets I discovered that I wanted to dedicate my life to being a caretaker for animals. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician. I worked as a kennel technician at Greater Birmingham Humane Society caring for the animals every day. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I no longer work there. I am fortunate to have learned so much there and to have truly figured out my passion in life. I currently have four amazing dogs and a wonderful cat that I care for and love so much. I could sit and talk about my beautiful animals all day long if given the chance. I personally know how much animals can mean to a person and how they become part of the family. I have no shortage of experience with big dogs, small dogs, active dogs, lazy dogs, outgoing dogs, shy dogs, etc. I'm extremely comfortable around every breed, size, age, etc. I have a special place in my heart for shy dogs and senior dogs. I am very capable of walking dogs that pull or that happen to be reactive on leash. I'm knowledgeable in dog behavior and I am confident in my skills to recognize certain dog characteristics and customize my approach to caring for that particular dog. Lastly, I'm a true believer that time spent with an animal is NEVER wasted!
