Hey there! I've worked with and around animals for many years! In my younger days, I was a camp counselor teaching riding lessons and also helped establish a collegiate polo club. I was also a professional dog groomer for over five years (and would love to offer those services again someday when I have my tools again). I have worked with all sorts of dogs as a groomer, adopted and fostered many more. The busiest my home had ever been was seven dogs between mine, fosters, and boarders. Currently our home is quieter and it's just the cats! We have four, from 12 years old down to three years old. I have also had birds, mice, ferrets, you name it. I love all the creatures and look forward to giving your companions the love they deserve.
