I've owned animals my entire life and have always felt so connected with them. When in high school, I would volunteer at the animal shelter. When I graduated, I got a job at a boarding facility. Animals are my biggest passion, and if you hire me for a job, I will treat your pets with the same love and respect I give my own.
