I have 20 years of experience in the pet world, which includes: Dog groomer, vet assistant, dog daycare associate, in-home dog and cat sitting, and my own fur babies of course! In my variety of practices involving pets, I have been able to develop a "whole" pet accrument of knowledge in pet's behaviors, relationships, needs, health(mental/physical), personalities, and my own fulfillment that these furry ones bring to me. My preferences say dogs up to 40lbs, but right now I am servicing dogs up to 60LBS. I see each dog or cat as an individual, with different personalities, just like humans. The first step in understanding them is to build trust and this requires patience and careful observation and giving pets the time and space they need to be comfortable. Lastly...I freaking love animals! Like "stop everything!! I see an animal!" kind of love!
