I’ve loved and cared for animals all my life. I grew up with dogs specifically. Family members had large breed dogs and we had two toy breeds. I helped care for them all growing up. In 2018 I adopted my own dog while in college. She was a pitbull from the humane society that I named Winnie. Winnie was my best friend and my greatest love. We went on countless walks, hikes, kayak rides, pack walks, barn hunt lessons, camping trips, played fetch at the park, etc. I am well versed in getting outside and having fun with your dog. Winnie was also behaviorally complex as she did not like other dogs and was reactive to them on walks. I spent years working with trainers and researching and teaching myself how to train and manage these behaviors and she made so much progress. Due to this I’m comfortable with dogs with behavioral issues and managing them. In January of 2025 Winnie got sick, and in June she was diagnosed with cancer. I spent every waking moment caring for her, taking her to the vet, paying for chemo treatments, cooking countless foods to try to get her to eat, cleaning up all the accidents, changing diapers, giving meds, etc. I am now very well versed and comfortable with medically complex dogs and all of the care that they require. Winnie passed away on September 6, 2025 and I miss her more than anything. You’d be doing me a favor by entrusting me with the cage of your pets and allowing me to love on them and take them out for some exercise and adventure to help fill that hole in my heart
