I have always had a major love for animals. I would wander around the pet store with my parents at a young age and beg for every new animal I encountered. Animals are my happy place, they bring so much joy into my life. I fall in love with every animal I come into contact with. Working in animal care is literally a dream come true and I couldn’t be happier living it out for the rest of my life.
If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, what would it be, and why?
Without any doubt or hesitation, I would have a sloth. They are my all-time favorite animal, they are so brilliant and have the sweetest looking faces!
Do you currently have any pets? What are their names and what is your favorite thing about them?
I currently have 6 cats (Ella, Loki, Bandit, Callie, Rusty, Willow), 2 dogs ( Graham, Paisley), 3 leopard geckos (Echo, Stitch, Yoshi), and a bearded dragon (Toothless). They all have such unique personalities. Coming home from a long day and being greeted by them all is the best feeling in the world!
What do you find most rewarding about working with animals?
It is the best feeling in the world to see how comfortable and happy we can make our clients fur babies while their parents are on vacation or have a family emergency. To see these dogs light up with that big cheesy grin and wiggle around when they get to see their best friend in daycare. And my all time favorite is when I gain that bond and they see me and want to leap into my arms and shower me with love!
