I've been an animal lover my entire life and have always had at least two dogs and a cat at home. Up until a few weeks ago I had been caring for a 15 year old dog who has several health and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, aggression, and joint issues related to aging. I understand firsthand the complexities of caring for senior pets with special needs, and I'm very familiar with managing their daily care and ensuring they live comfortably. In addition to dogs and cats, I also loaned a horse for two years and volunteered with horses for eight years, gaining a deeper understanding of animal behavior, a training, and overall care. My experience with a variety of animals has given me a strong foundation in providing the kind of care and attention that pets of all ages and conditions require. A few days of the week I walk up to four dogs with the dog walking company Eastside Pawz. I am also studying Veterinary science online part time so I am home often.
