I grew up in a house full of animals and started volunteering at animal shelters by age 11, as I loved spending my time with dogs and cats. I then spent time caring for and walking my neighbors dogs as my first real job and still get excited about any opportunity to care for pets that I can find. I now have my own two year old dog, who I trained and cared for from 11 weeks old, so I also have lots of experience with puppies. As a dog owner, I know how important the safety and comfort of our pets is and I work hard to treat each pet with the concern and love that I show my own dog.
