I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old and became a seasonal Kennel Attendant at the award winning Old Mill Boarding Kennel in Leeaburg, Virginia in June of 2013. I have experience administering food and medication, giving proper hygiene care, observing and engaging in proper animal exercise, and animal behavior analysis. The way to my heart is paved with paw prints! I have also taken care of cats, small rodents, and amphibians. I am open to taking care of any kind of animal. I currently study psychology, linguistics, and contemplative studies at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I hope to become a speech pathologist while continuing to work with all kind of animals for the rest of my life.
