About
Hello! I’m a pet lover that loves to take care of my own and others pets! With 10 years of various pet care experience and ownership you can feel confident in
Experience overview
I’ve always had family pets ranging from dogs to guinea pigs but my professional pet care experience began at age 13 when I started taking pet care more seriously for my family pets. I did more research on the type of food we were feeding our dogs and upgraded my ball pythons cage to better suit his needs. Then at 14 I got a job at Pet Supplies Plus, due to my age I wasn’t able to do much with animal care but I loved handling the birds and helping other pet parents with their dogs, cats, and other pets. I stopped working there, not because of the pets, but to focus on school. While in college I went back to Pet Supplies Plus to work for another year, this time I was able to work with fish, reptile, and small animal care, ranging from checking water quality to accessing hamsters for wet tail and seeing them through their treatment. I stated taking dog training seriously here as well as I just got my own dog, Onyx a black lab mix, from a shelter. This helped me to research and know what products to recommend to dog owners that have been struggling with their dog’s behavior. I once again left this job due to management but I still search for jobs relating to animal care. Fast forward to today I take care of Onyx, my first dog, I like to think of her as my soul dog, Niko, a standard poodle that is currently an ESA and a service dog in training, the there’s Roman, he’s a toy poodle with a lot of quirks. I hope to take care of your pets soon!
