Pet care experience

I've always loved animals, from childhood to the present. I look forward to meeting furbabies of all kinds! In terms of personal pet care experience I've been the primary caretaker of my family's rescue dog since we adopted him in summer '23. He quickly decided that I'm "his person", so I've been responsible for everything from walks to baths to administering medication. Due to his past, he's highly anxious, reactive towards other dogs, and generally has a lot of behaviors we've been working through. If you're worried that your pet may be "too much", trust me, I've been there and then some, and I'm not afraid to take it on!
