I've had pets my entire life and was taught at a young age how to care for animals. I was a neighborhood dog walker from ages 14-17. Then I moved to a new neighborhood and became a dog walker there. There were sprinkles of pet sitting in here and I have had an assortment of dogs and cats as pets throughout my life.

I grew up with dogs and cats. I had two Rottweilers, an Olde English Bulldog, a German Shepard, and a couple other strays so big dogs do not scare me at all. I am a very active person so I love taking dogs for runs/walks. I have had a cat my entire life and I love getting to know their unique personalities.
