I grew up caring for animals- my family had cats, dogs, and fish growing up and I worked in a horse barn during my adolescence, riding and caring for horses. I love cuddling with dogs and cats and scratching their bellies and ears, but I also know how to do the less-fun chores, like cleaning the litter box, carrying the doggy bags during walks, and cleaning up after the accidents that are inevitable sometimes. I LOVE animals, and as a young person with a hard job, sometimes nothing can put a smile on my face like a dog or cat can. I miss my own animals and there is something missing in my life without them! I am looking forward to carrying for pets like they are my own!
