The same compassion and empathy I instill with compassion care for people to help with their daily living needs is transparent with peoples' pets. I am truly and genuine animal lover.

I have had a few cats in my family as well as a dog. I have trained dogs on a few occasions and walked dogs of friends and relatives. I have dealt with well-trained dogs as well as aggressive/agitated dogs. I believe it is the training through a dog's life, not the breed, that defines a dog's behavior.

I'm currently studying to be a veterinarian and in the midst of my job search I figured why not do something I'm passionate about. I absolutely adore animals of all sorts (though I can't love on cats very much because I'm allergic) they all have a special place in my heart. I also own two of my own dogs, a bird, and 3 fish tanks...
