Jenna Smith

Summary
I was a coordinator at Take Five Dogcare, which not only required me to manage dogs and cleanliness, but also manage schedules, train new staff, and speak to customers about concerns and problems. I have worked customer service at both previous jobs, as well as worked with dogs and cats. I am looking to further my experience in the animal field by attending online college courses come fall of 2025, and I am pet CPR certified. I have done off leash walks with dogs at Take Five Dogcare as well as playgroups in fenced in yards. I’ve introduced new dogs to other dogs and group environments. I have worked in the dog field for over a year now. I am licensed and have my own vehicle for transportation.
