I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Throughout my life there has always been a dog in my home and 3 dogs at once for the most. My family has rescued dogs and given them the best second chance at life possible! Those dogs have come from horrible conditions and were met with countless walks, treats, and cuddles when they found their forever home with my family and I. My animal care experience ranges from puppies as young as 6 weeks old and senior dogs who need regular medication. My love for animals has extended far beyond my own as my friends rely on me to watch their pets when they cannot. My love for animals can even be seen in my education as I am minoring in assistance dog training at my university. This program has given me countless hours of caring for puppies and training dogs around 1 1/2 years old to be service dogs. I have extensive education in dog behavior and training and love finding ways to involve animals in my daily life.
