I am a caring, empathetic individual with an strong work ethic. I have owned many of my own fur babies (cats and dogs), all of them rescues. Owning rescues has helped me hone my sensitivity to what an dog may be feeling and how to best connect in order to make a pet more comfortable. One of my dogs now has a serious health care issue (and has for a few years), so I am very experienced administering oral and injection type medications, IV fluids, and other special medical care. I also understand how to comfort sick or anxious animals. I am physically active, so I am more than happy to take your pets on runs, walks, the dog park, or anything else you would like. I worked in victim services in the past, and have used animals as a part of the healing process with clients. This furthered my understanding of how truly amazing animals are, and I will take excellent care of your pets!
