“With an Education and Psychology degree, I can assure you a professional, friendly experience . I have a strong work ethic and passion in all that I do and love to be creative. After teaching 2nd grade, 4th grade, and preschool, I know that my heart lies in learning and teaching and in helping others, and this includes my animal friends as well. I believe that everyone can make a difference in the world.... no matter what it may be that you do. “Until one has loved an animal a part of ones soul remains unawakened.” Anable France While I have been blessed to raise everything from hermit crabs and hamster to birds and turtles, the most dear to my heart are my furry friends. I grew up with a Dachshund for 17 years and raised a Syberian Husky for 13 years. I currently have 13-year old Yorkishon who has been the ultimate pal for life. I have also provided care for my neighbors’ two dogs. As a mother and pet owner, I can sure you I will treat your pooch just as my own. I understand your pup has a personality and will consider what’s best for his/her own unique set of needs. I have experience with high-energy dogs, timid dogs, puppies, seniors, blind and deaf dogs. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large dogs and am willing to accommodate special needs, including administering medication. I have administered anti seizure medications as well as insulin , eye drops , and ear drops . Currently, I’m a stay-at-home mom of two girls, ages 9 and 11. Thus, I have substantial time, love, and energy to devote to your pal. I’m flexible and able to commit to long-term/set schedule jobs, specific dates for various occasions, and/or overnight and weekly boarding jobs. Your pooch can enjoy daily fun or boarding at my home in Cottleville or I can come to you for home visits. Last minute needs are welcome!
