I am a special education teacher who has a heart for caring for both humans and animals. I grew up in a household with Great Danes, so I love big dogs (my parents still have two fawn Great Danes!) My husband and I recently adopted a 6 year old Mountain Cur/Put Bull mix who had unfortunately been abused and dumped at the humane society in my hometown in central Florida. We went all the way to Florida to get her after seeing her video because it just felt like she was meant to be in our family! We lovingly call her our special ed doggy because she has lots of special needs and medical issues. She is our pride and joy and she has been such a blessing to our little family. It has been amazing to watch her flourish and come out of her shell since we first brought her home. As a caregiver for your loved one, I use the same patient and individualized approach that I employ in the classroom to provide each animal with the best care possible. I realize that all dogs and cats have different demeanors and personalities and I adjust my approach accordingly. I am comfortable with administering medication to your pet as instructed, and I am more than willing to walk or care for large breeds. While staying in your home, I am respectful of your space and dedicated to keeping the same routine for your dog or cat that you would have if you were home. Thank you for your consideration in choosing me to provide the best care for your best friend!
