I love all animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. I grew up in a family that owns a dog training and boarding business. Since childhood I was always heavily involved in the care and training of all breeds, temperaments, and ages. This care included daily walks, mental excercises, experience with special needs/diets, keeping the dogs secure and comfortable at all times, cleaning up after dogs, etc. I now have two dogs of my own, so as a dog owner I take very seriously all aspects of giving them safe, fun, and engaging experiences, always. I also foster animals occasionally, especially cats/very young kittens. It is my goal to work with animals as my main career in life, as it does not even feel like work. Working with animals is just something that I have always had a passion for.
