I have been surrounded by animals since before I can remember. Growing up, my family had almost every type of pet there is: from dogs and cats to snakes, rats, toads, and rabbits. I was taught from a very young age that animals can't communicate their needs in the way people can, so we need to pay attention and anticipate them. I have taken care of special needs dogs, made several midnight trips to the emergency vet, and supported the recovery of pets post surgery. I'm flexible and will adapt to the specific needs of each pet. I will also follow the pet parents' instructions carefully. I know that animals are beloved members of the family and I take the responsibility of their care seriously.
