I grew up in Diamond Bar, Walnut, and Chino Hills helping to bring animals into the world via FFA (lambs, calves, etc.). I grew up on horse property in Walnut, CA (my Bio Mom in Heaven was a barrel rider, no surprise since my maternal side has Santa Anita family roots—given my English roots, I was blessed to learn to ride English and Western saddle from good friends and service work should horse-sitting opps. surface). I served with Hearts and Hooves org. while living in Shelby, NC, where we would trailer horses to school for special needs kids. Thanks to USDA for the grant funding that made that program possible! Grew up in CA around dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, reptiles, fish and horses. Having family farm roots on my paternal and maternal sides in the U.S., England and Norway and some FFA exposure, I’ve helped care for livestock, horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, goats, reptiles, fish farms, bunnies, etc. Had my own dogs, my fur kid boxers since they were pups. Trained my pups via Pet Co. courses, and adopted out a lot of animals in the area at Pet Co. locales in partnership with Cats in Need and the Pomona Humane Society, alongside the founder and owner of the Bunny Bunch org. My dogs passed away more recently after living full lives. They loved visiting Seniors at their homes who could no longer care for pets. And, my girl loved visiting Senior Living communities to lift spirits, Royal Family Kids Camp in the Summer, field trips, and Veteran events. Fortunately, animal sitting helps fill a void while serving as a blessing to people and families.
