I have always had a passion for animals. I currently volunteer and foster in my spare time. My typical week involves bringing dogs from shelters on hikes, transporting to the vet, socializing, feeding, training, etc. I love the outdoors! I also babysit. Sometimes I am lucky enough to care for both children and animals.

Kenneth, is awesome with our dog, Kenzo. We’ve been denied care by others due to Kenzo’s large size. Kenneth welcomed him. Kenzo loves Kenneth — he anticipates his weekly visits. Not to mention that he is absolutely exhausted when he returns which is not easy to do. I recommend Kenneth!
