If I’m being completely honest, the reason why I became a pet sitter was to expand my family. I consider every pet I meet as a significant addition to my circle and treat him as if he were my own. Although I do have a bit of social anxiety, I love to meet new people who share the same passion for animals that I do. It is ingrained in my personality to help others and the bonus of pet sitting is that I get to provide care for an animal in need. I not only have the desire to care for animals, I have the experience to back it up. I have taken agricultural classes that have given me hands-on exposure with large and small animals. I have also enrolled in the Allen FFA and entered the Vet Science competition. We were tested on a topics like dog/cat/exotic/swine/cattle/ovine/equine breeds, parasites, surgical/medical tools, dosage calculations and more. I also received my CVA certification while I was in school and went on to work at the same veterinary hospital that I interned at previously. Currently, I am enrolled in school to be a dog trainer and am shadowing a groomer so I can provide a wide array of pet-related services for my clients. I have two cats at home, Ciel and Bailey, and have always had dogs involved in my life. There are 15 dogs in my family and I am always receiving requests to perform nail trims, baths and minor haircuts when visiting my relatives! I find myself frequently tending to older dogs or those with special needs because of my experience working in hospitals and my ability to be patient, two traits that lend themselves well to this area of pet care. I provide excellent customer service by frequently communicating with my clients and will send photos in real time to give you peace of mind.
