Hello there! I'm a "bone"afied dog lover (well, animal lover in general!) that has built their entire career around working with animals. I guess you could say I got my start with animals when I was 4. My parents worked for a family that raised and bred a veritable zoo of exotic animals (along with their 2 family Goldens which were my constant sidekicks) and I went to work with my parents every day. At home, my family raised several dogs, amongst our many pets. When I got my first job (working with dogs and other animals, of course!) I bathed and worked on basic training (all positive reinforcement) for all the puppies that came through. Then I moved on to grooming, where I discovered my true pet passion! I have been an artist most of my life but grooming gave me the opportunity to mix my two favorite things! Pets and art! Unfortunately, 13 years of grooming came with many unavoidable injuries to myself that have made it, as a full time career, physically difficult. I'll never be able to shake that love and will likely always do a little bit of grooming here and there. In the meantime, I hope to fill the void of the many lovely pups I am used to grooming full time with some of your babies! I am young enough to still be able to give your dog a nice walk or run and always make sure to have water and a small emergency kit with me! I am also very familiar with all sorts of animals, domestic and exotic. I have owned a very wide assortment of pets and can care for any pets necessary in the household, as long as we can discuss it first! Well, I hope to meet you and your little (or big one!) soon!!
