Pet care experience
After double majoring in college in Economics & Finance, then worked in the corporate world for 10 years. During lockdowns, I realized I was miserable. At first, I assumed dog walking would be a fun side gig. I love dogs so much and with my previously work at The Humane Society & Animal Hospital. Before I knew it. I left my job and decided to make this my full time job and I haven’t looked back. Experience • 2009 -2014 Volunteering at The Lawrence Humane Society • 2006 - 2009 Brighten Park Animal Hospital • 2022 - Current: Rover • 2005 - Current: Animals Owner 6 dogs, 1 cat, • Special Animal Option Experience: Aquariums, ocean salt water fish, Guini pigs, Chicken Coops, Turtles, Parrots. I doing what I love, but no amount of money can replace how much my mental & physical has improved. Vitamin D, plenty of steps, fresh air, and to me. Walking 20 different dogs is my version of having 20 different therapy dogs. ALSO, I am well versed in Cat. Owned a car for two years and provided many drop-ins. My Personal Dog History I have had dogs my entire life all shapes and sizes. First, I grew up with a golden lab since I was 12, Kobie was the exact same as Markely from Marley & me. Then in college I Volunteered at the humane society and adopted an English Bulldog, but they come with so many health problems he passed at age five. Then my brothers basketball coach died of a sudden heart attack. No one was willing to take him in, so I adopted him. Blackie, he is the mut miniature schnauzer. Very sassy. Then my most recent dog Copper, he is a golden retriever. As a puppy he just over a fence and broke his leg. The breeder was so cold hearted and said he wasn’t worth it. The vet did the procedure and asked if I wanted a him. Obviously yes. So experience with Small dogs, Retriever, English Bulldog, uncle to an Akita.
