I’ve grown up loving animals—dogs and cats have always been a part of my family. I adopted my first baby, a Calico cat named Riley, back in 2007, and decided to give her a puppy brother in 2014 when Jake, an Australian Shepherd mix, became a part of our little family. I was blessed enough to have had 17 wonderful years with Riley, and don’t think I spent a night away from Jake during his 11 years on this Earth. About three years ago, I was lucky enough to become mom to my husband's Chocolate Lab, Willy. I have so much love to give and I can promise you that I will treat your dog or cat with that same level of care and endearment as I have my own. I gained significant experience working as a Kennel Manager for a veterinarian's office in Frisco, where I spent time walking, feeding, bathing and making sure the boarders were happy and doing well. I also worked closely with the doctors, often assisting during appointments, where I became very adept at keeping the patients calm and learned much about how to handle emergency situations, as well as the administering of medications in various forms (injections, pills, etc.). I have dog-sat for many families—all types and all sizes—staying at the owners’ homes, but am very open to keeping your pup(s) at my house, as well. We have a large fenced-in backyard with a doggy door and plenty of space inside to escape these hot Texas summers. I’d love the opportunity to fall in love with your fur babies, too.
