Pet care experience

Animal lover to care for your pets

I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me.

Dina was wonderful at leaving us with updates about our Shmoe! She made the cutest artwork with the tuna packets and had thoughtful insight on Shmoe's behavior while we were away. I definitely plan to rebook with her in the future!

Any medications needed to give? Any special needs so I can care properly? How is their every level? How do they react to other animals or do on walks?
