I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and livestock. My career began as a veterinary technician, and I continue to hold a certified veterinary technician (CVT) license. With a strong foundation in animal health, I am highly skilled in administering medications and medical therapies prescribed by veterinarians, ensuring pets receive expert care. My passion for animal welfare led me to work in animal rescue, where I handled dogs of all temperaments, including shy, nervous, and behaviorally challenged rescue dogs. This experience gave me extensive knowledge in dog rehabilitation and behavioral training, helping even the most timid or reactive dogs build confidence and trust. I later transitioned into Animal Cruelty investigations, where I successfully forwarded hundreds of cases for criminal prosecution, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. My dedication to thorough investigations resulted in convictions in every single case I worked on, holding abusers accountable and securing justice for animals. However, due to the emotional toll of witnessing such cruelty, I chose to focus on working with pet owners who treat their animals as cherished family members. I am passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and personalized care for every pet. Whether walking, sitting, or transporting, I prioritize safety first, strictly following walking guidelines and practicing canine first aid when necessary. I am also experienced in handling pets with special medical or behavioral needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. When you entrust your pet to my care, you’re choosing a highly experienced and skilled professional with a deep commitment to their well-being.
