I’m a compassionate dog walker with 12+ years of experience & a lifelong passion for animal care. I started by dog sitting as a child, then volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs & caring for cats in my teens to early 20s. From 2016 to 2019, I also volunteered on a farm, caring for a variety of animals. I have experience working with pets who have emotional challenges or traumatic backgrounds & am especially patient with those needing extra care. In 2022, I earned my Veterinary Assistant certification & completed an externship at a clinic specializing in both Western & holistic medicine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments & can recognize early signs of illness or distress. Many dogs who are typically wary of men feel at ease with me due to my calm, intuitive approach even my senior colleagues had easier attempts to exam the dogs back paws or trim nails with I’m in the room. I treat every pet like my own.
