I have taken care of animals of all sorts, particularly dogs, for over 8 years. I pet sit my sister’s’ two Chihuahuas weekly, and have from their younger years to current senior years. I am also a puppy sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and previously a puppy raiser. This includes ensuring that the puppies are well taken care of, socialized, and trained everyday as they learn to navigate this huge new world to them. Through this program I have also learned and utilized positive reinforcement training and attended weekly classes to continue to develop such skills. Recently, I have begun to incorporate the skills used in program to train my sister’s anxious dogs, which is going very well. I cater to the needs of each dog, from listening to how they communicate, what level of attention they desire, to how they learn best. I have also cared for chickens, ducks, and goats at a summer camp, and have taken care of many abandoned or injured wild animals until I could bring them to someplace that had more resources to help them!
