A Little About Me
Hello I'm Jacklyn!
A little about me is that I take my passion with animal caretaking beyond the line of just a job or profession. Animal caretaking is apart of my daily life both profession and personal. By day I am a kennel assistant and a bather, by night I am an artist learning unique ways to portray my work drawing portraits of my coworkers animals while being a fur mom! I have a 10 week old Husky puppy named Hercules and a 6 month old Orange Tabby named Red. My care towards my animals at home is just as important as the care to the animals at the facility where as I treat them as one of my own when it comes down to necessities, hygiene, or even just playtime!
