I’m 18 and I work at PetValu. Working with PetValu I have undergone training through the UC Davis school of Veterinary Medicine, I learned about nutrition, pet health and other aspects of pet care. I grew up on a ranch in Colorado and I was responsible for making sure the animals were fed and taken care of every morning and night. I was part of 4-H from 3rd grade to my senior year. I was involved with dogs, horses, cows, pigs, and sheep. An animal you connect with is more of a family member than just a pet. That’s why it’s important to have someone you trust provide care for your animals while you’re away. I started off as a babysitter, but changed to pet care due to my love of animals. I have volunteered in many shelters for cats and dogs. I’m always eager to help those with their pet care and their busy schedules.
