Growing up with dogs, cats, chickens, and fish have not only made me a huge animal lover, but have lead my curiosity and passion towards animal health, safety, and wellness in my adult years. I have volunteered at the SPCA, cared for boarding pets, and taken care of friend’s and family’s beloved animals for over a decade. I’m extremely well-versed in animal body language and behavior and will not hesitate to share updates throughout our time together. During the year I worked at a pet daycare, I learned how to care for the smallest, sickest kitties, to the biggest and most energy-filled puppies. After about 8 months working there, I was promoted to handling and administering the guest’s food and medication, so I have lots of experience and knowledge about all kinds of different food and meds for dogs and cats. Furthermore, at just 8 years old, I taught my family dog, Rudy, how to sit, lay down, shake, go to his “spot”, balance a treat, spin, among other common words used on a day to day basis. I was fortunate to have such a bright puppy who made both our learning experiences absolutely fun. I’m continuing working with animals because I enjoy caring for those who need it most!
