I've been around animals for most of my life, starting when my family adopted our rescue Pit Bull/Lab/Rottweiler mix when I was five. As I got older, I took an active role in his care and training, teaching him commands like sit, stay, paw, and roll over, as well as leash walking. He was initially uncomfortable around other animals, so I also learned firsthand how patience, consistency, and positive training can help a pet become more confident and comfortable. I've also cared for two cats and have experience with litter box care, grooming, and plenty of playtime. Having cared for pets with very different personalities, I understand that every animal has their own needs, and I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
