From a very young age, I have absolutely loved animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian from the time I was in Kindergarten through high school, until I realized that I really disliked biology. Fast forward to now...I'm an elementary school teacher with 3 dogs of my own and a cat. I have previously worked with various animal rescues, fostering puppies and dogs of all sizes. My personal dogs have all been with me since they were puppies and the oldest just turned 11! I am familiar with obedience training and know what to look for to keep dogs safe when interacting with one another. I have years of experience caring for other people's animals, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, goats, sheep and even an emu! What you'll get when you hire me: - I will love and care for your animals as if they're my own. - I have great communication! Want some pictures of your furry loved ones while you're away? I can totally do that for you. - I'm responsible and reliable, so you can relax while away. - Any special requests? I can definitely take care of those for you because I know just how hard it is to trust someone else with your furry family members.
