Experienced animal fanatic

Pet care experience

At the young age of three I knew that my calling was to work along side animals. At the age of 12 I started volunteering in shelters working in the kennel and acquiring more animal knowledge with each day. I dedicated countless hours around my schooling and athletics to working hand in paw with animals both fuzzy and scaly. At the age of 19 I started my first professional job working along side animals as an apprentice dog trainer. Working with pets and pet parents was an amazing experience. Though the schedule was too hectic and the hours weren't enough being that I'm a mother. I then went to a full time job as a doggie daycare attendant and I absolutely love it. From there I became a store manager at a holistic pet wash and pet store. I am now a full time stay at home mom and I hope to open my own business involving pets.

Portia was so caring and attentive with our puppy. She put our minds at ease while we were out. Our puppy was very happy for the extra attention. Thank you!
