In 2015 I started volunteering as a dog walker at Wisconsin Humane Society, I wanted to learn & do more, so I took an opportunity in Veterinary Services, working with the intake animals, in addition to volunteering for Pets for Life, a community outreach program. I received training in behavior & first aid, including the administration of medications, special diets, subcutaneous fluids, and other treatments, I gained invaluable hands on experience handling hundreds of dogs & cats. in 2018 I was motivated to leave my job in social services and start pet sitting & dog walking full time. I wanted to take my experience in human health care and highlight the importance of compassion, specialized training, accountability and certification, and apply it to taking care of pets. I am certified in animal behavior, first aid and CPR. All exercise, training and care are delivered with the philosophy of positive reinforcement. I am passionate about rescue, and volunteer for 2 organizations very close to my heart! Friends of MADACC & Urban Cat Coalition. I am mom to Aria and my fur kids, Cooper, Atticus, Chaos, Rascal, Dahlia, and Brewster.
