I grew up on a farm, so I've worked with many different kinds of animals. I also used to help out on my great grandpa's farm before my family had our own. Animals are my life, and I can't see my life without them in it! I grew up in Minnesota, and I've never had a memory where we didn't have a dog. After moving to Ames, I've had the experience of not having my own dog and it was definitely weird to me. So, after my friend started working at Ames Pet Resort and told me how much she liked it, I decided to work there too! I've met sooo many dogs since I started, and I've been enjoying it very much. If you asked me to, I could name so many dogs that I adore. And show you pictures! I see dogs as part of the family, and many of them have touched my heart. I love them as if they were my own. I hope your family member(s) will touch my heart the same way. While I was living in Minnesota, I worked for my friend's parents. They taught me so much, and that was where my journey of working more with dogs had started. I was still working with the animals at home as well. I worked at Ames Pet Resort for little over a year, and I learned much since day one. I can give meds if need be, and I can walk various sizes of dogs. I can give the right dosages of medicine, syringes, and pills. I've also dealt with many man aggressive dogs, dog aggressive dogs, boundary aggressive tendency dogs, food aggressive, and same sex aggressive dogs, ect. For my job, I've also had training for doggy daycare so if you need any training tips, let me know! Additionally, I worked at Bark Avenue as a manager for about 7 months. In those 7 months, I was unable to do rover because my schedule didn't allow me to. Now that I work part time at an assisted living facility, it enables me to have more time to spend with your sweet companions! ❤️
