About: Ive always been into animal care from no matter what kind it is weather its a fish or cow. Being connected to animals is what makes me feel complete. While in Ohio in college i would volunteer at least 3 times a week in shelters to get a feel of what animals need to feel at home. Now that I’m back home I plan to do animal care 7 days a week if I must! Animal care is my life goal. Your pet would be in my supervision 100% of the time weather it be at my home or clients home. Very attentive and fed well. They’re are allowed on all furniture to feel even more at home, sleep where they like, and will always be properly cared for. Dogs have always been my peace and I absolutely love working with them no matter the breed.
