hi! I love everything about pets!! My dream was to become a veterinarian, but I have too big of a heart to do the hard parts! I worked at a pet boarding facility all throughout high school and walked dogs and pet sit through college. I was trained to give medications orally, vaccination shots and insulin shots!

I have been a dog lover all my life but just got really into dog owning and sitting recently. I have a beautiful 2-year-old golden retriever who I got as a puppy and have trained completely on my own. I am looking into walking dogs and dog sitting where I can bring along my 3-month-old baby as well.
