About: As long as I can remember I have been surronded by animals. From childhood to now I have worked in many animal environments including pet grooming facilities and even dog walking and boarding on my own. My experience doesn’t just stop there though. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! My husband is active duty and I am here to hold down the fort. With that being said, I have plenty of free time. My days are usually spent at home and the company of furry friends makes home much more lively. I believe that owning a pet is like having a child and we all have different wants and needs for our pets. I plan to follow guidelines that are set up for me to have the most success with your pets. This includes: feeding and feeding times, crating or free roaming, lots of activities or just lazy day. I want the best for both the pet and the pet parent.

“Amazing! You can tell she really cares about what she does!”
