Full-Time Pet Care Provider Available
I have had and cared for pets since I was a child. Currently, I am a pet parent to 3 dog, 1 horse, 1 donkey, and a small herd of cats. I graduated from Morrisville College in NY with an Associates in Applied Sciences majoring in Equine Studies. I worked with race horses for 5 years as a caretaker-feeding, exercising, bathing, cooling out, cleaning stalls and general daily care. I started schooling for small animal care but dropped during my first semester when I found out we were to practice procedures on live animals. I worked in a small animal clinical for a couple of months while living in Florida as a Kennel Assistant involving daily feeding, cleaning, walking, grooming, and overall observation of the dogs and cats. I also worked at The Delaware County Humane Society for a year while I lived in Ohio. I worked with both cats and dogs. My primary job was in the cat pre-adoption room. I fed, cleaned/reset cages, comforted and re-socialized incoming cats for adoption.
