Pet care experience

I was the kid who brought home a stray kittten because my heart couldn't leave her on the street, and I became the adult who fosters kittens for my town. I also think dogs are the best! My family adopted the sweetest Black Lab when I was in kindergarten. I was so blessed to have grown up with her, and I love doting on my clients, which currently include Pitty mixes, a senior Shih tzu, and Portuguese water dogs. I've cared for animals with varying conditions from blindness to anxiety, and I have experience with breeds of all sizes, and ages 6 months to 16 years ❤️ Last but certainly not least, I've been riding horses for the majority of my life. Over the years, I have been honored and grateful to have met owners who trust me to care for and love their beloved horses as my own. Additionally, for many years I was a volunteer horse caretaker and exerciser at a non profit therapeutic riding facility. I am also a reiki master and practice on animals (with permission) if that is of any interest. My clients feel secure knowing their pets are with someone who is responsible, caring, and reliable.
