Since I was a young girl, I have always been involved with animals in some way. From small jobs working at barns in exchange for riding lessons, to grooming the local dogs and walking them.
I took a job working at a family friend's locally owned pet store where I handled and cared for their birds and puppies. I had a summer job between school years working for a traveling dog groomer, I also volunteered at my local animal shelter.
I went to college and earned a degree in Psychology following which I worked at Harvard Medical school caring for and assisting researchers with laboratory animals. In between semesters in college, I worked for a local dog trainer, and later, as a cat caretaker.
With the support of my husband and family, I have since partnered in owning and running a Cat Hotel, raised and shown my own dogs. Raised and loved my three kids and built my own business working with pet parents such as yourself!
