I have 3 dogs at home and a golden retriever who is in training to be a service dog! I love cuddling with pets and taking them on walks and feeding them. I love sitting outside and playing with them and letting their energy out. I am allergic to cats and cannot work with cats.

I have been caring for animals since I was young. My dad breeds red setters, so I have spent time helping with all the dogs and training the puppies as well as dogs. I have owned two dogs of my own that I trained as well. I love both cats and dogs!

I've trained my own dog to be obedient and do a few basic tricks. I've owned my cat, Bristol, for 6 years along with a few miscellaneous kittens. And of course I can't live without my fish, Jasper. (:

Ever since I was little, I have trained my dogs to do everything from sitting on fire hydrants and jumping through hoops to simple things like not jumping up on new people. I have helped care for big dogs, little dogs, three-legged dogs (like my dog tripod), and everything in between, so I'm up for any task!
