Summary

I am a Diligent and hardworking professional dedicated to giving optimal animal care and support. In my time at uberdog I’ve accomplished building positive relationships with owners and trust with animals as well as with the staff. The Staff know they can come to me about my Knowledge about grooming, boarding reservations, basic care and a variety of other situations. Uberdog has become a home to me with all of the loving staff and clients ( both fur babies and humans!) I’ve been a shift lead at Uberdog for over a year and know the facility and protocols like the back of my hand. I’ve spent my time at Uberdog building solid and trustworthy relationships with the clients and their pets who give me a warm welcome the second they walk through the door. I have always been very compassionate working with dogs and only foresee my future holding a place at Uberdog for years to come! My knowledge and compassion have provided me with successful leadership at Uberdog for the time that I have been there. I believe my positive experience and leadership at Uberdog will help me accomplish bringing destinations pets visions alive as the assistant manager, and working closely with the general manager to make sure these visions are brought to life.
