I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have had pets my whole life. From the time I was very little, I began housesitting and caring for friends and neighbor's dogs and cats with my mother. Since then, I have continued to care for people's pets while they are away and have cared for everything from backyard farms to professional equine training facilities with 20+ horses to dogs and cats to exotic pets and reptiles. I have worked both as a vet tech for 5 years and at a university caring for exotic species for 4 years during my undergraduate studies. I am comfortable and experienced with all types of dogs. I spent 3 years during high school working at a doggie day care and training business that focused on positive reinforcement training and learning about dog behavior and psychology. My own furry family consists of 4 dogs, 4 cats and 3 horses. I am happy to welcome dogs into my house for boarding as long as they get along with other dogs and are okay with cats and up to date on vaccines. I am also happy to watch animals of any variety at your home, including horses, farm animals, dogs, cats, reptiles, small caged pets such as rabbits, hamsters, mice etc and other exotics. I care for all animals as if they were my own family and happy to provide care for animals needing extra attention such as puppies and seniors.
