I worked as a doggy daycare supervisor and care provider for over three years at an established boarding/grooming/daycare facility, going out of my way to do whatever possible for the dogs in our care (cats, too!) to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their owners were away. If they needed to be taken outside more often than others, needed extra brushing or needed someone to sit on the floor with them and hand-feed them (for those that are too stressed to eat while away from home, or just they’re already spoiled with it at home), I always did what I could to provide that for them. I also was a manager at PetSmart for a year, learning more about the retail aspect of pet care, good and bad, for everything from which food is best to which treats maybe aren’t the healthiest to which toys will end up lasting longer (for those of us with extreme chewers!). I am also a certified PetTech Pet CPR and First Aid Instructor (and always have first aid supplies on me) and have taken several pet psychology and body language courses, geared mostly towards dogs, but addresses cats and even bunnies as well! BONUS: As a studied photographer (I double majored in business and photography in college), I naturally wanted to pick up the picture taking duties at the boarding and daycare facility where I worked. I soon realized my intense passion for shooting the dogs (and cats) in action, whether it be running and romping, or resting and chilled. I always strive to get a great, candid shot of the fur babies for their family! *Disclaimer: Unless I am in the shot, or it is otherwise stated, all photos posted are taken by me.
