My lifelong experience with pets has made me empathic towards the creatures on earth that can't speak (at least not with words). I've come to understand animals on an instinctive level. I’ve taken care of a wide variety of pets: dogs, cats, and even reptiles, for friends, family, and clients. I myself currently own two dogs and a few hens as pets. I've worked professionaly for pet care companies primarily focused on dog and cat care as well as experience with more exotic pets. As far as dogs go I've cared for a variety of breeds from tiny Shih Tzus to large Great Danes. When it comes to dog training I am a huge fan of positive reinforcement and love the book "Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor My strengths are my loyalty, my commitment, my creativity and my independence.
