My love of animals began before my earliest memories. According to my parents, I was a very colicky baby and the only thing that made me smile during my first three months of life was being around animals! Luckily, we had a very patient and adoring Chocolate Labrador named Wrigley. He quickly became my best friend and a reliable and soothing source of comfort that lasted throughout my early childhood.

​

I now have four dogs in my family that I help care for: a Chocolate Labrador, Cedar; a mix breed rescue from Paws Crossed Animal Rescue, Kiki; a Weimaraner, Ryno; and an Irish Setter, Sage. In addition to caring for my family dogs, I have volunteered at SPCA of Westchester (Briarcliff Manor, NY) and UNSAAC Animal Rescue at the Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco, Peru and currently volunteer at Paws Crossed Animal Rescue (Elmsford, NY).  These experiences, together with helping to care for the pets of my family and friends, inspired me to pursue my passion for caring for pets professionally!

​

To prepare for a career in caring for pets professionally, I successfully completed a six-week Pet Sitter course through IAP Career College. This course taught me many valuable skills about properly, responsibly, and safely caring for pets and the homes they live in. I look forward to lovingly and responsibly caring for your furry family members!
