Since I was a little one growing up in South Georgia, I knew my passion.animals. I didn't know how that would transpire quite yet, but I was certain I was here on Earth to care for them. Back then, I was trying to lure every stray on our dirt road in with hot dogs so I could pick the ticks off of them, or give them a bath with dish soap I would sneak from my mama's kitchen.
As a teenager, I helped start an Animal Shelter in our small town and worked there every spare second I had. As an adult, I have enjoyed working as a Vet Tech/Surgery Tech, and in rescues, fostering for local shelters, and pet sitting. I love working with animals, they bring so much to my life! I can't think of a better way to spend my days. I've been an animal lover all my life, evidenced by countless childhood pictures of me snuggling one random cat or another.
With about 10 years in the animal rescue field behind me, I've been lucky to have had a wide range of experiences working with animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, needs and demeanors.

Jenny and Aych came over to meet our pets before we left for a week vacation.
I was a nervous wreck because our elderly dog had bone cancer and required medication and extra care.
I didn't think I could trust anyone to give her the kind of attention I would.
But by the time they left, I felt such relief.
They pet Layla and talked sweetly to her the whole time they were there.
They obviously had a lot of experience with sick pets and a true love for animals in general.
While away, they sent us photos and updates about our pets.

Experience with companion animals is a must!
Volunteering and fostering certainly count!
By nature, this job entails interacting with companion animals who do not fare well in a traditional boarding environment.
So an understanding of animal behavior and low stress handling is important.
Having experience administering medications is a plus.
