I’ve dedicated my life to working with animals and just completed my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at UConn. Since I was 10 years old, I have fostered orphaned kittens and pregnant mother cats and volunteered with the Mansfield Animal Shelter. I have also worked in a veterinary clinic, a kennel environment, and raised two guide dogs through a professional guide dog program. My experience includes caring for newborn kittens, senior pets, administering medications, puppy socialization, and handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have trained and handled dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, including my own workingline German Shepherd. I am comfortable using and properly implementing a variety of training tools and understand the importance of tailoring care and training to each individual dog. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous around new people, or a social butterfly, I will provide patient and attentive care.
