I have a large backround working with animals in a vet and kennel environment. I worked in this setting for about a year and a half, and this gave me great experience and knowledge. I developed skills for medicating pets as needed, creating proper food and water schedules, and I learned basic bathing and grooming techniques. I have also owned dogs and cats my entire life as well as watched many dogs for friends and family. Over the last year, I have house sat and watched dogs for several different people associated with my family's church, as well as for those who may have heard of me by word of mouth. I am just an all around pet lover and enjoy helping people so this is a win win.
