I have been working with numerous types of animals from a young age, and I love it! My favorite thing about caring for animals is getting to know and work with their unique personalities and quirks. I am very understanding and patient with the animals I come across. I also always make it a point to respect them and not push their boundries in order to avoid negative associations. Animals are amazing and they deserve the best care we can give them. I myself have a Jack Russle Terrier mix and he is my sun and moon. I completely understand and appreciate how our pets are members of our families and theraputic little (or big) buddies. If I end up caring for your pet I can assure you that I'll treat them with respect and kindness, as you would treat your furry family member! I am happy to take your dog on hikes, or even to Hill Crest Dog Park. I am also comfortable with giving medications and special needs pets. I take pet care very seriously and will follow your care directions closely. Your pet is in safe hands with me!
