My true love and passion for all animals, especially dogs, separates me from many in this profession who view this purely from a business perspective. My earliest memories as a child involved animals in my home and the homes of all my relatives. Throughout my life, including present day, my home has been filled with animals whether dogs and cats or multiple dogs which I have had the responsibility to care for. This love of animals led to my first summer job while in high school working for a local veterinarian with responsibilities which included calming the pets during their visit as well as feeding and walking those staying overnight. In subsequent years, I have worked at various animal clinics as well as pet grooming saloons where caring for animals was my primary responsibility. With my understanding and love of pets, any customer can feel comfortable knowing I will treat their pets as if they are part of my own family.
