I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages. I currently have two senior cats that I’ve had since I was young, which has given me extensive experience with daily care, monitoring health changes, administering medications when needed, and understanding the unique needs of older pets. Growing up, my family had two German Shepherds and a Labrador Retriever. Through the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, exercise, and providing attentive companionship. I also volunteered multiple times at a dog shelter in Mexico, where I helped care for dogs by feeding them, spending time socializing and comforting them, and assisting staff with basic care tasks. I additionally helped with the intake of new puppies, including assisting during vaccination appointments. One of my most rewarding experiences was rescuing and fostering a puppy I brought back from Mexico that was at risk of being surrendered to a shelter. I cared for her, helped with her socialization and daily needs, and ultimately found her a loving forever home after she spent a month with me. I genuinely love animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. From hiking to just hanging out, I’d love to hang out with your fur babies!
