Animals love me. Maybe because I'm handy with the treats or because I'm an empathetic HSP, but either way I have always enjoyed being around them and caring for them. I have owned 3 different dogs since I was 8(ShiTzu, Golden, Terrier), for all of which I was either partly or completely responsible for their care and training. When I raised my first puppy, I became fascinated with dog behavior and training techniques, which has continued to help me make polite furry friends ever since. I have been around cats since I was born. In addition to caring for my own, I have been responsible at times for house-sitting friends' pets, which have include some elderly felines who needed medication and some feisty kittens with high energy and aggression. I am a trained and certified dog and cat groomer, I can provide in-home nail trims, brush-outs and basic hair trims, as well as baths if you have the facilities available. Unfortunately, my living situation does not allow me to keep a pupper of my own for now, but I adopted a hefty domestic shorthair cat, named Cake, to keep me company. I would love the chance to care for your pal and hope you will trust that they could not be in better or more compassionate hands.
