I grew up on a hobby farm, so I've been taking care of animals since I was the age of 10. I was in charge of feeding, walking, and generally taking care of dogs, cats, horses and pigs. In college, my family often relied on me to watch the family dogs when they were out of town. The dogs would either come stay with me in my apartment, or I would drive home to stay with them there until my family returned. This trend has not only continued but expanded in adulthood. I have dog and cat sat for many clients, colleagues, and friends. I am now a proud cat owner of a charming, but sickly cat. Because of this, I am well versed in giving medications and caring for animals that require a little extra love and attention.
