My life has revolved around animals from the beginning. My parents are fosters for Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief & Rescue. I was in Charles County 4-H from the time I was 8 until I aged out at 18 with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Masie and we won multiple obedience competitions. I trained my own service dog at 15, a Chessie named Fish, who is now retired at 8. In 2020 I graduated from the College of Southern Maryland’s Vet Assistant Program which was run by 2 veterinarians. IMPORTANT: because of my school schedule, I cannot accept bookings from 10am-12pm starting May 14th and ending July 1st. REQUIRED INFORMATION: All pets must have current rabies vaccinations for all services. I will want to see some proof of this BEFORE meeting the pets. I am also requiring meet and greets for all new clients, this allows the animals to feel much more comfortable around me and I can learn my responsibilities as each visit is different! THE DOGS IN MY HOME: Bongo is a 2 year old male Great Dane who I am actively training to become my next service dog and obedience champion. Orca, is a 1.5 year old Boston Terrier crossed with a Miniature Australian Shepherd who is learning to catch Disc/Frisbees as I also learn to throw them. Between the two they provide friendly playmates for dogs of all sizes! MY OTHER ANIMALS: I have 2 bunnies, a cat, 5 parrots, and a pet pig! They all live next door to me at my parents house along with Fish and Masie because my parents love them too much for me to have them live with me! WORKING EXPERIENCE: In 2021 I worked with Custom Canine Design where I studied under Andi in both leatherwork and dog training. From August of 2022 until April of 2023 I helped my friend Lauren train dogs with her boarding business Tried and True Train and Stay. From November 2022 to May 2024 I worked part time as a pet bather at Bark Of The Town in Laplata. As of May 2024 I am only doing Rover and other independent work to fit my school schedule, but plan to return to Bark Of The Town in the coming months.
