An avid pet lover of all kinds, I have four years of professional experience working for a home-owned dog walking and pet sitting company, as well as another three years of experience working at a dog daycare and training facility in King of Prussia. I am highly experienced working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and health levels, as well as working with exotic animals including rodents, reptiles, birds, and fish. As a teenager, I spent many hours after school volunteering at my local P.A.W.S Rescue center where I learned proper dog and cat care, nutrition, and some training techniques. Later, while working at the daycare center, these skills were enhanced along with acquiring a significant amount of knowledge regarding animal behavior. I have had my own pets since very early childhood, and have no memories of a time without animals in my home. Since childhood, I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and fresh and saltwater fish. Presently I have two lovable rats, Ptolemy and Pascal, as well as a ball python named Genesis.
