I have extensive experience in pet caregiving. For over a year, I was responsible for watching a Shih Tzu dog, Coco. She lived with me and became a part of my family. I believe in a healthy diet for pets and prepare fresh snacks for them often. I love going to the park, beach, or on hikes with the pups in my care. The occasional scrambled egg for breakfast never hurt, either! For the past 2 years, I've also been a volunteer foster mom to puppies, ranging from 6 weeks to 6 months in age, to aid local shelters. These puppies have been a wide variety of breeds and personalities, but I cherish the experiences I had with each one of them before they found their forever homes. I love all animals in my care as if they are my own; they are treated with immense kindness and respect. Since I was 8 years old, I have been taking care of fish, hamsters, rabbits, and dogs (sometimes all at once!). Animals are an important part of my life and hold a significant place in my heart.
